304.84 is a new upstream release (the only way we can get upstream
bugfixes for the blob) that fixes an issue with logging into KDE a
second time after logging out but not restarting X. So far this has
been reported three times in the BTS.
Along this I added some documentation and license updates:
- use License: GPL-2.0 from current dh_make template
- add missing copyright/license to the nvidia-detect script
- put my patches into the public domain, they get applied to the kernel
module source, so GPL is not appropriate
I just noticed debian/nvidia-cuda-proxy.* got added, too, but the
nvidia-cuda-proxy is not in ebian/control, so this is just a bit noise.
Annotated changelog entry:
new upstream:
* New upstream legacy 304xx branch release 304.84 (2013-03-04).
- Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
- Fixed a bug that could lead to rendering corruption after an X
server generation (i.e., leaving an X server running after all
of its clients have exited). (Closes: #700121, #696839, #702918)
- Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when performing
an RandR 1.0 rotation (e.g., `xrandr --orientation left`) after
unplugging the last connected monitor.
- Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14).
- Fixed font rendering performance and corruption problems on X servers with
backported support for the new glyph cache functionality added to Pixman
0.27.
- Fixed a potential X server crash during initialization, when a
graphics card with a TV connector has no TV connected.
- Added a new X configuration option, UseHotplugEvents, to allow the
suppression of RandR events when adding or removing non-DisplayPort
displays. See the X Config Options appendix of the README for details.
* Add xorg-video-abi-14 as alternative dependency.
* kernel-3.7.patch: Remove, fixed upstream.
fix for nvidia-kernel-source, the corresponding fix for
nvidia-kernel-dkms was already in 304.64-4, and this change is already
in nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-* in wheezy:
* Fix debian/module/debian/kernel-version to cope with $KSRC/linux/version.h
being moved to $KSRC/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h in Linux 3.7.
(Closes: #696570)
documentation and similar:
* nvidia-vdpau-driver: Move to Section: non-free/video. (See #700666)
* README.alternatives: Document to run
'dpkg-reconfigure glx-alternative-nvidia'
after running 'update-alternatives --config nvidia'. (See #702782)
* README.Debian: Add information about reporting upstream bugs to NVIDIA.
* Update my email address and remove DMUA.
missing copyright:
* Add copyright information to the nvidia-detect script originally written
by Filipus Klutiero for the wiki page.
drop cruft:
* patch-3.0-rt-nvidia.patch: Remove, disabled since 304.30-2.
relicense:
* Put my patches into the public domain, they get applied to the kernel
module source that is under a non-free license from NVIDIA.
nvidia-graphics-modules is just a rebuild against the new driver.
nvidia-settings has some upstream changes, so better keep the version in
sync.
These three packages should go into testing together. I won't mind
giving them a bit more time than the usual 10 days in unstable.
