525 series

[qumaciel]

Introduce the new 525 series:

Noticeable changes:

• GSP firmware now have multiple files
• There is a new (undocumented) file libnvidia-api.so.1

Significant change:

• I've changed how we handle the libnvidia-egl-wayland and libnvidia-egl-gbm versions. I suggest to keep the recent versions first, so we avoid going through all the if-statements until we get to the end. I think it is less prone to errors as the versions grow with time.

I don't know whether you'll prefer revert this, but I think, at least, we should split the logic for egl-wayland and egl-gbm versions, since they have separated release cycles.

Seems good to me.
But im wondering, why not using the latest egl-wayland version? The latest is the 1.1.11 Release

I was also expecting the 1.1.11, but that is what was shipped with the installer. :S

Thanks. Works with the proprietary kernel module, but not the open one:

Thanks. Works with the proprietary kernel module, but not the open one:

Could you test whether commenting this line in PKGBUILD
patch -Np1 --no-backup-if-mismatch -i "$srcdir"/nvidia-open-gcc-ibt-sls.diff
would work?

According to NVIDIA, this issue was solved, so, in principle, we don't need this patch anymore.

If not, I'll have a look tomorrow.

The patch can be dropped. It has been fixed. But just for open modules. For the closed one it will probably take some more time.
Also I think you can update the EGL versions, since they "should" be compatible each other.

One thing which I notice that the nvidia-all is way smaller then the official one from arch, with changed pkgver:

There is mainly a difference between nvidia-utils and nvidia-utils-tkg from about 80MB.

I'm fine with the changes. Thanks qumaciel, I was too slow yet again 🐸 ❤️

@ptr1337 80MB seems large. I'll check that out.
