Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.1) focal; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
    UbuntuDrivers/kerneldetection.py,
    tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py,
    ubuntu-drivers:
    - Add tests for the -generic-hwe-20.04 flavour and for
      the -oem-20.04 linux flavour.
    - Add detection logic to get the linux metapackage and
      linux-modules for -hwe-20.04 (LP: #1873867).
    - List the modules provider when it is either a dkms package
      or a linux-modules package.
    - Install linux-modules packages when available.
      This makes the NVIDIA drivers work with Secure Boot.

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py,
    UbuntuDrivers/kerneldetection.py:
    - Use exact matching in find_reverse_deps() with both
      installed and candidate.

Binary packages built by this source

dh-modaliases: debhelper extension for scanning kernel module aliases

 dh_modaliases is useful for packages that ship third-party kernel modules,
 either in binary form, or as sources (with e. g. DKMS). It extracts the
 modules' modaliases from either the compile .ko files themselves (for packages
 which ship them in compiled form, using modinfo), or from a package file
 debian/packagename.modaliases.
 .
 This enables software which is looking for missing driver packages (such as
 Jockey or the operating system installer) to identify which package(s) will
 provide a driver for a piece of hardware, identified by its modalias.

ubuntu-drivers-common: Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages

 This package aggregates and abstracts Ubuntu specific logic and knowledge
 about third-party driver packages. It provides:
 .
  - a Python API for detecting driver packages for a particular piece of
    hardware or the whole system.
 .
  - an "ubuntu-drivers" command line tool to list or install driver packages
    (mostly for integration in installers).
 .
  - some NVidia specific support code to find the most appropriate driver
    version, as well as setting up the alternatives symlinks that the
    proprietary NVidia and FGLRX packages use.
