At this point there are no plans to repocopy for a yet another version
of nvidia driver other than three legacy versions we already have.
Master port will be updated to the latest stable version once people who
had original problems with anything >195.22 (dougb@ et al) would test
any latest version nVidia has for us and confirm their stability issues
are indeed gone.

Sure, I will take care of plist issues upon the upgrade. What is more
important right now is driver stability issues people had been having.
I must rely on other people testing since I was not able to reproduce
most of them in my local environment.

So what exactly do I have to do to test this?
in the Makefile just

-DISTVERSION?= 195.36.24
+DISTVERSION?= 256.35

make makesum && make deinstall && make install

or will I have to change the plist somewhere

FWIW, my problem with 195.36.15 has disappeared. I still can't figure out
what changed. I'll give the 2^8 version a spin later this week.

Thanks,
Max

I would suggest to start with 195.36.31, as 256.xx are early betas.
Ideally, I want a stable version in 195.36.yy series before start
looking at upcoming 256 ones.

Yes, plist changes are required to make the port deinstall itself
cleanly. It won't affect driver stability in any way though. :-)
