[elrepo] nVIDIA 387.34

[Phil Perry]

Sorry, no. I'm not going to routinely package short lived branch 
drivers, let alone beta releases unless there is a very compelling 
reason to do so.

If you want (or need) to run cutting edge releases then I'd recommend 
you use the NVIDIA installer and update as you see fit.

If you absolutely need a packaged solution, then I would suggest running 
fedora where you will find packages for short lived releases, and maybe 
even beta releases if you are lucky.

Regards,

Phil
