Overview

Request 648440 accepted

GPU (nvidia/intel) selection for NVIDIA optimus laptops

A collection of shell scripts that makes it possible to use the
NVIDIA GPU on a Optimus Laptop. The switching is similar to
the feature provided by the nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu.

Latest changes:
- changed Requires: nvidia_driver to Recommends in order to receive
more acceptance for integration into (open)SUSE
- added Supplements: nvidia_driver:, so package gets
selected as well when nvidia driver packages are selected on an
Optimus system
- added proper and valid Group tag

can't install suse-prime-0.2-4.2.noarch:
  nothing provides nvidia_driver needed by suse-prime-0.2-4.2.noarch

Package makes no sense without our nvidia driver packages installed. Do we need to change the Requires to Recommends due to buildservice limitations?

Then the package makes little to no sense in context of Tumbleweed: a package that only serves purpose when a 3rd-party repo is being enabled would better fit into said 3rd party repo.

There is no 'buildservice limitation' in question here: there is a product specification that sais we don't want uninstallable packages in the product
