NVIDIA 580xx module packaging lands in linux-cachyos

By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

CachyOS starts splitting the proprietary NVIDIA 580xx driver into its own packaged kernel module ahead of the EAC kernel, while the rest of the day is AUR packaging and build-dashboard polish.

PKGBUILD: Add nvidia-580xx module packaging CachyOS/linux-cachyos

by ptr1337

The PKGBUILD now packages the nvidia-580xx module separately. The PR description states it is "Required for upcoming EAC Kernel" and that the split reduces the builds needed when an NVIDIA update arrives for 580xx, since the driver bump can be delayed alongside the normal NVIDIA driver.

PKGBUILD: Update CFI config name CachyOS/linux-cachyos

by stuffandnothing

Kconfig renamed CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI, and the change now propagates through all of linux-cachyos's PKGBUILDs. Anyone carrying their own kernel config or patch set against these PKGBUILDs needs the new symbol name.

claude-desktop: add bubblewrap and libpipewire optdepends CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by Peter Jung

claude-desktop picks up bubblewrap and libpipewire as optional dependencies, so the sandboxing and screen-sharing paths resolve their libraries without a manual install.

fix(ui): don't capture / shortcut in inputs CachyOS/builder-dashboard

by Vladislav Nepogodin

The builder dashboard no longer swallows the / key when focus is inside an input. Custom paths in the same series also gain client-side validation, with custom submit errors annotated for clearer failures.

git-credential-manager: Add CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by Peter Jung

Smaller AUR-derived housekeeping continued with git-credential-manager added, ps_mem given an nvchecker.toml, cryptomator's nvchecker fixed, and python-packaging added to CI for pypi-sourced packages.
