This sounds great, although a working rpmfusion would be even better; 
lack of nvidia modules (in my case for 304.88) means that I'm not 
keeping up with kernel updates on my f18/x86_64 main box.  I haven't yet 
made time to prepare for building for that from your SRPM.

My laptop runs SL6/i686 without nvidia, but with non-standard packages 
from other repos, as detailed earlier.  Building from the SRPM Just 
Works now, (tempting fate), taking around an hour.

My earlier query about using your SRPM or a git pull was really intended 
to clarify the update process, since, IIRC, you use a tarball and a git 
diff as well as repo-specific tweaks;  I wondered how easy it would be 
to replace the tarball-and-diff with a straight git pull; I guess that 
would be the preferred route in the absence of an existing 
route-that-works.

Thanks again,
