Hello,

I'm particularly paranoid about my CUDA setup.  I do not understand
CUDA except enough to declare that if my machine has CUDA 4.2
installed my life will be easy.  This is because I compile software
that supposedly needs CUDA 4.2.

Can someone please translate the emerge -Dauv snip below into english for me?

My attempted translation: "portage is about to uninstall CUDA 4.2 and
replace it with CUDA 2.2 so enjoy your new life of misery sucker...
should've used OpenCL!  Hahaha!"

I'll also post the top of dev-util/nvidia-cuda-sdk/ChangeLog

Thank you,

Chris
