First of all, excuse my naivete, but I have two questions. 1: Why is the nvidia license a problem for adding the drivers to an openSUSE repo but it doesn't seem to be a problem for other distributions?
2: Why is the nvidia repo so complicated? I'll expound upon this by stating that the latest driver (331.20) supports just about everything from what I can tell so why do they break it down into different packages for openSUSE? See here. Also, they do not seem to keep their repository up to date as I cannot install the x11-video-nvidia package because the only version they have is the ancient 96.xx driver with a broken dependency.
So, why do we have to rely on this nonsensical method for installing the nvidia drivers when other distros simply have an nvidia package that installs the driver regardless of what card they are using?
