Dear Release Team, I'm asking for a freeze exception to upload nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx 96.43.23-2 to sid which reinstantiates the package as a working X driver reverting the transitional package and switching instructions. On Sept 4th a new release of the 96xx series appeared on Nvidia's ftp server (not mentioned elsewhere, so probably a beta) that adds support for Xorg Xserver 1.12 (that was missing until now and therefore nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx was removed from testing in 2011 and I turned it into empty transitional packages with instructions for switching to radeon right before the wheezy freeze). I just uploaded this new version to experimental and asked the bug reporters/commenters of #643584 to test this with wheezy's Xorg. Which debdiff(s) would you like to see? * vs 96.43.20-8 (sid, unblocked, 7/10, translation update) * vs 96.43.20-6 (wheezy, transitional variant) * vs 96.43.20-4 (last non-transitional variant in sid) * vs 96.43.20-2 (last non-transitional variant in wheezy) * vs 96.43.18-2 (squeeze) I'm currently unsure how to handle the *-ia32 packages, they were fully reinstated in my experimental upload (and therefore I needed to build in a wheezy chroot to use the old monolithic ia32-libs), but I'd prefer to to turn them into empty transitional packages as I did with nvidia-graphics-drivers (see #684871), which is still pending a decision how to proceed with it.
