Subject: Re: [CentOS] Missing file in current kernel-devel package
<snip>
I've identified what my problem is, trying to install the NVidia
proprietary drivers: in kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64,
there is a file
/usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64/include/linux/fence.h
It does not exist in the kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64
package. Is this something that got missed, or did HR drop it,
or....?
Sorry, but I really don't believe it is good, much less best practice
to do something like removing a kernel include file within one
release. If
they'd made it go a away for 7.0, I would deal, but to suddenly drop
it, bad.
Tell it to Linus, not us:

Well, I d/l the latest from NVidia, and that one built. Of course, now I'm
going to really worry about several of my users, who have old - as in 5-10
year old, NVidia cards, who need legacy drivers, like the 304.

This issue is fixed in recent releases, including the latest 304.137
legacy release. Nvidia are still actively supporting that driver, even
if the hardware is "5-10 years old".
