NVIDIA DRM kernel module version synchronization with NVIDIA driver updates

[Matthew45]

In latest upgrade i was pleasantly surprised..on the list was this: nvidia-driver: 595.104.02 -> 595.112.07 [FreeBSD-ports], nvidia-drm-612-kmod: 595.104.02.1501000_1 -> 595.112.07.1501000 [FreeBSD-ports], nvidia-kmod: 595.104.02.1501000 -> 595.112.07.1501000 [FreeBSD-ports]...So no mismatch anymore!! It seems, that maintainers improved synchronization between these components. Happy nvidia user here If mismatch ever happens again, it would be good to have notice by pkg before pkg upgrade is performed, but as it seems it all behaves correct.

Happy coincidence, if you look closely they're coming from the FreeBSD-ports repository, not FreeBSD-ports-kmods. This is because the packages in the FreeBSD-ports (the "full" repo) is specifically built for 15.1 as 15.0 is now EoL.

So thats the case, well thanks for explanation With recent mismatch i am blowing on the cold tea now and when upgrade was available i red the list and saw that the versions are the same. So if repo is now built for 15.1 there will be no mismatch in future upgrades? At least until 15.2 comes out..
