Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 195.36.24-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze
The latest change in debian/rules applies a new behaviour of the build script
which makes manual building the module not working anymore according to
documentation README.debian method #3:
I'm using several different kernels on my machine, and normally I build the
nvidia packages for all of them by just setting the respective environment
variables KVERS and KSRC to the different values and then building the modules
one after another manually by calling
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/rules binary_modules.
The latest changes in version 195.36.24-2 do not consider these already set
variables anymore but, as far as I understood the script takes the version from
the target of /usr/src/linux, which, on my machine always points to the 'main'
kernel, meaning the one currently in testing. So, compiling for different
versions always needs a change of that symlink including the risk of letting
this point to a wrong version afterwards when forgetting to re-set it.
Please, either update the documentation to give the user a hint why building
does not work as he's used to or (preferrably) let the script check if these
variables are already set and consider them.
Best regards,
Edgar

Hi,
this bug was reported against a very old version of the
nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Debian. We asked some months ago whether
this problem is still reproducible in the current version of the driver, but
didn't get any new information. Therefore, I assume the problem has been
solved by a new upstream release and/or packaging updates and I'll close this
report now.
If you are still able to reproduce this problem with current versions of the
driver, kernel and X.Org, feel free to provide additional information and
reopen this report.
Andreas
