Details

I've been building a number of research tools which use CUDA over the last week, and I've noticed a trend: most assume that CUDA lives in /usr/local/cuda.

It would save a lot of users having to dig into the build configuration if there was a symlink from /usr/local/cuda to /opt/cuda. Would you mind including that in the next release?

Also, thanks for maintaining this package. It's great to have it in arch. :)

Packages outside of "filesystem" cannot touch /usr/local

The profile.d/cuda.sh should take care of that. It will usually be sourced automatically but you can source it manually and it will just work then.
