We (elrepo) didn't. Both components were pushed together, I can assure
you. Both packages were signed and pushed on 9th March, some 5 days ago.
Can you please provide evidence to support your claims. Please provide a
link to the mirror with the missing file then we can investigate and fix
IF there is indeed an issue.
Don't get me wrong - I take reports of issues very seriously. But in
this case you make accusations without any evidence to support them. You
don't seem interested in requesting or receiving support, but rather
just want to have a rant, evidenced in part by the title of your thread
and the fact you have yet to provide any useful details that would
actually help someone determine what your issue is and how to best fix
it. And as Johnny pointed out, this isn't even the correct forum for
your rant.
Anyway, I am glad to see elsewhere in this thread that you no longer
intend to use the elrepo NVIDIA packages. I am glad you have found a
solution that works for you and wish you good luck with that.
