I sent this email yesterday, but I didn't subscribe and, since I don't see this mail in the mailing list archive, I assume it has not been received...

Especially, even though most Nvidia software is provided with installation methods for a generic Linux OS, the hard part is about updating and maintaining them at coherent and proper versions (i.e. if Nvidia drivers update, even CUDA version should be checked, etc.)

Consider that CUDA binaries are redistributable but have no open license, while NCCL is under a BSD license but requires CUDA for compilation.  My user is 00sapo, and my mail is the one from where I'm writing. I just submitted a request for a new user.
