Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers Version: 185.18.36-2 According to http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/nvidia-libvdpau1/filelist, the package nvidia-libvdpau1 includes not just the NVIDIA VDPAU driver, but also the VDPAU "wrapper" and "trace" libraries (libvdpau.so*, libvdpau_trace.so*). Moving forward, it should only contain the NVIDIA driver; the wrapper/trace libraries should be packages elsewhere.
The rationale behind this is that VDPAU headers, the wrapper and trace library are all freely licensed, and hopefully soon to become a standard API with multiple implementations. At some unspecified point in the future, the NVIDIA-provided driver packages (NVIDIA-*.run) will no longer ship these files. However, the NVIDIA implementation itself will still be part of our driver, and should continue to be packaged as such. In summary, I expect the following packages to exist: libvdpau (free): (built from freedesktop.org source; see URL below) /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.XXX /usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so -> /usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so.XXX libvdpau-dev (free): (built from freedesktop.org source; see URL below) /usr/include/vdpau/vdpau.h /usr/include/vdpau/vdpau_x11.h /usr/lib/libvdpau.so -> /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 nvidia-libvdpau (non-free): (built from NVIDIA .run file) /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so -> /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so.185.18.36 (where -> denotes a symlink) FYI, see also: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2009-September/001036.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
