  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu11) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/nvidia-$flavour.{dirs|postinst}.in, rules:
        - Install the blacklist file in /lib/nvidia-$flavour instead
          of /usr/lib/nvidia-$flavour so that the file is available
          early in the boot process when /usr is on a different
          partition (LP: #538071).
        - Ignore errors when trying to update the initramfs
          with -k $CURRENT_KERNEL which is known to fail when
          using chroots (LP: #556653).

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu7) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/nvidia-173.postinst.in:
        - Update the initramfs for the current kernel and for the
          newest one so that the blacklist file is included in
          the initramfs and nouveau can be blacklisted early.

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu6) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/rules:
        - Blacklist nouveau and the other nvidia proprietary
          drivers in the modprobe.conf file.

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/compat:
        - Bump compatibility to 5.
      * debian/nvidia-173.install.in:
        - Remove any reference to vdpau.
      * debian/nvidia-173.postinst.in:
        - Install alternative with --force so that files that
          already exist (from unofficial PPAs or from the Nvidia
          installer, etc.) are overwritten thus avoiding to
          install a broken alternative.
      * debian/rules:
        - Use global replacement when generating files from
          templates.

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/nvidia-173.postinst.in:
        - Remove gl_libraries slave link as the file in ld.so.conf.d is
          enough.
     -- Alberto Milone <email address hidden>   Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:15:41 +0100
  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/control.in:
        - There's no need for the -dev package to conflict with
          the mesa development packages any more.
      * debian/nvidia-173.postinst.in:
        - Do not set slaves for libglx and libdri. We don't need
          this any more as, thanks to a change in X, xorg_extra_modules
          will suffice.
        - Set link to $PKG_libdir in /usr/lib/GL with alternatives.

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.22-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Rework packaging taking Mandriva's as a model:
        - Use alternatives instead of diversions.
        - Reduce the number of binary packages to nvidia-173,
          nvidia-173-dev and nvidia-173-modaliases.
      * debian/rules:
        - Switch to CDBS.
        - Remove libGL.la as no static library is provided.
      * debian/nvidia-current.README.Debian.in:
        - Document the update process.
      * nvidia-current.postinst: try to build the module for the most
        recent kernel in addition to building it for the current kernel
        (LP: #474917).
      * New upstream release (LP: #494166):
       - Add support for xserver 1.7.x.
