By RepoJournal ยท Filed ยท About CachyOS ยท Composed from the cited sources ยท methodology
CachyOS pushed a new Nvidia driver package through CachyOS-PKGBUILDS, rebuilt the corresponding linux-cachyos driver modules, and flipped transparent hugepage policy on the server kernel, while the Germany mirror went dark.
nvidia: Update to v615.78.08 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
CachyOS-PKGBUILDS moves the nvidia package to v615.78.08, though the PR author flags that nvidia-settings does not appear to have been released alongside it yet. Anyone tracking the driver and its settings utility should expect them to land out of step.
NVIDIA: rebuild CachyOS/linux-cachyos
A matching rebuild in linux-cachyos keeps the kernel's Nvidia modules aligned with the driver package. Until both sides are published together, the rebuilt modules and the 615.78.08 userspace package are the pair to install as a unit.
linux-cachyos-server: default THP to madvise (#1064) CachyOS/linux-cachyos
linux-cachyos-server now defaults transparent hugepages to madvise, so THP is only applied to regions a process explicitly opts in. Workloads that relied on kernel-wide THP will see the setting change on the next kernel update.
