I'm the maintainer of nvidia-beta-all - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31123 The nature of the package is that to provide the nvidia-beta driver for all currently installed kernels. I use some horrible tricks to accomplish that involving scanning the kernel images in /boot With the recent changes to include the 'extramodules' directory, I recently found time to modify a small portion of the PKGBUILD to place the nvidia.ko files in /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1.*/ directories instead of in /lib/modules/3.1.*/kernel/drivers/video. Saves me (and others) re-building of the package. I also have my own script which does the same module-building for virtualbox (for all kernels instead of only the running one) which I've been using since before virtualbox-source existed (with its own highly complete and complicated vboxbuild script). While looking at my script and comparing it with vboxbuild from virtualbox-source, I noticed that that script placed modules in /lib/modules/3.1.*-*-ARCH/extramodules rather than in /lib/modules/extramodules-3.1.*-*-ARCH Is this (the former) location recommended over what I'm currently doing (the latter)? If I'm not mistaken, placing the module in the former would result in 'left-behind' symlinks/directories in /lib/modules which placing the module in the latter would not? Thanks for the clarification (and for reading this).
