From 29cc34d861723c656f21e1bf96126996de4ab00a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ionen Wolkens Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2024 15:11:52 -0500 Subject: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers: lower KERNEL_MAX to 6.6 for 0/470 NVIDIA's support seemingly has ended, as such this will never go up anymore (unless we patch it, which there is no plans to support). It does not make sense to list a non-LTS branch that's not even in the tree anymore there. Also add a warning similar to 390.x, the date is the same given both 6.1.x and 6.6.x kernels are going away at same time.
