Or is it just a simple rpmbuild --rebuild ? rpmbuild --rebuild works ... , but if you have 64 bits you might have to build for i686 also which is not easy with rpmbuild, so for this reason and others, I prefer use mock: mock -r fedora-18-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree --rebuild src.rpm and mock -r fedora-18-i386-rpmfusion_nonfree --rebuild src.rpm you need install mock and configure it http://www.serjux.com/alps/how_to_use_mock.txt and also install from rpmfusion mock-rpmfusion-free-19.0-1.fc18.noarch mock-rpmfusion-nonfree-19.0-1.fc18.noarch to have mock config files for fedora-18-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree. Go luck :) -- Sérgio M. B.

[ra@hamburger ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) [ra@hamburger ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia kmod-nvidia-3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64-319.17-1.fc18.1.x86_64 nvidia-xconfig-1.0-27.fc18.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-319.17-1.fc18.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-319.17-1.fc18.x86_64 nvidia-settings-1.0-31.fc18.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64-319.17-1.fc18.1.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-319.17-1.fc18.i686 kmod-nvidia-319.17-1.fc18.1.x86_64 nvidia-settings-desktop-1.0-31.fc18.x86_64 I managed to build the srpm's without much issue (and without changing anything). I did have issues installing the resulting rpm's but I solved that by removing the old nvidia software. My only remaining problem is when new kernels are released in updates. I have to boot the new kernel to runlevel 3 and rebuild the kmod again. But Im sure there is a much better way to do that :) -- Rikki ----- Original Message ----- > From: "George Galt" <george.galt(a)gmail.com&gt; > To: "RPM Fusion users discussion list" < rpmfusion-users(a)lists.rpmfusion.org&gt; > Sent: Wednesday, 29 May, 2013 3:07:23 PM > Subject: Re: nvidia drivers > > > > I have been building the 310 driver for F18 for quite some time.
