Hi, thank you for your replies. The official openSUSE repos on nvidia.com are fine. The CUDA RPM, instead, is not the best. I think it would be better if it was in a repo so that it would also offer updates and they could be in sync with the drivers.
Anyway, the real reason why I wanted to re-distribute CUDA is that it is needed for building NCCL. From my understanding, in OBS, all the dependencies should be available at the building step because it works without a network connection. Consequently, I would need to upload CUDA RPM to openSUSE's OBS, but it is not allowed because it's not compliant with the OSI. So the question is: a) would it be possible to redistribute the CUDA libraries from a home: project in packman? b) could I use that home: project as a BuildRequires of another project (maybe on openSUSE's OBS)? Best and thank you very much for your time! f ---- On Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:06:49 +0100 Giacomo Comes wrote --- > On Mon, Jan 08, 2024 at 09:29:02AM +0100, Federico Simonetta wrote: > > Dear all, > > I'm quite a new user in the openSUSE world, but a rather experienced user > > of Linux.
