Hi, although I'm not a Cg user myself, I stumbled across this bug on Launchpad, and decided to do something about it (it's causing some FTBFSs in Ubuntu).
I have what I believe is a reasonable solution to this, which is a total rework of the package using Nvidia's tarballs in a multiple orig.tar.gz source format 3.0 (quilt) package. http://people.ubuntu.com/~stefanor/tmp/nvidia-cg-toolkit_3.0.0007-0ubuntu1.dsc Fredrico: I'd like to be able to sync this package from Debian instead of directly uploading to Ubuntu, but with the 10.10 release less than a month away I probably can't wait long enough. However, if you do have any input / review I'd welcome it, so we can minimise future pain. Does this look good to you? The documentation should be split out into a -doc package, as it weighs several MiB. However, I didn't want to do something like that in Ubuntu, I'd rather it happened in Debian first. Nigel: > It is recommended that Ubuntu incorporate or adapt these as a > replacement. I'm afraid that [Debian and] Ubuntu can't redistribute your debs, our infrastructure requires us to build our own debs. We can include your pre-built binaries in them (as I'm doing), although this obviously means the package ends up in non-free.
