x11/nvidia-driver*: Drop pkg-message All contents of pkg-message are applicable for kmods part (x11/nvidia-kmod*) only. This was the remnant when kmods part were splitted out from x11/nvidia-driver* at commit ports f4e907a49258. PR: 298709 Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D5986431772e22df

x11/nvidia-driver: Split kmod into x11/nvidia-kmod Split out kmod part of x11/nvidia-driver into x11/nvidia-kmod, including slave ports, to allow FreeBSD-kmods repo builders building nvidia-related kmod ports. In this update, * split out *.ko from x11/nvidia-driver[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel] into corresponding x11/nvidia-kmod[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel], * switch dependency of graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod upon x11/nvidia-driver[-devel] to newly introduced x11/nvidia-kmod[-devel], * make x11/nvidia-driver[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel] depend upon newly introduced x11/nvidia-kmod[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel], * bump consumers directly depending upon x11/nvidia-driver* as of dependency switches, * and hook x11/nvidia-kmod[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel] to build. Note that upgrading x11/nvidia-driver* from monolithic version requires deinstallation of x11/nvidia-driver* before starting, as both previous version of x11/nvidia-driver* and newly introduced x11/nvidia-kmod* installs *.ko into same place.

x11/nvidia-driver, x11/linux-nvidia-libs: Split and distribute distinfo per-slave-ports Currently, upgrades for legacy versions of x11/nvidia-driver and x11/linux-nvidia-libs are often delayed, due to the conflicts with master port and forgotton. This is usually because master and slave (legacy) ports shares distinfo, causing races between multiple upgrades, even upgrades for legacy ones are trivial. This update splits distinfo into master and each slave (legacy) ports to avoid races unless master Makefile(s) needs updates for to-be-upgraded slave ports. update-distinfo target is removed, you can use the standard 'make makesum' in each port now.
