New comment by bobertlo on void-packages repository

Comment:
To my surprise, CUDA is included with the proprietary NVIDIA packages.

```
nvidia-libs-470.94_1	/usr/lib/libcuda.so -> /usr/lib/libcuda.so.470.94
nvidia-libs-470.94_1	/usr/lib/libcuda.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libcuda.so.470.94
nvidia-libs-470.94_1	/usr/lib/libcuda.so.470.94
```

I was able to install pytorch, `torch.cuda.is_available()` returns true, and the mnist example trains a model.

This issue could be closed but I view this as a documentation issue since there is absolutely no mention of cuda in any package descriptions or documentation. If you google cuda void linux you find multiple open package requests and reports that cuda is not available or supported.
