** Description changed: - The nvidia-driver-XXX-server meta-package "Recommends" nvidia-settings. - I think it would be better to demote nvidia-settings to a "Suggests" for - these packages because of all the following: + [Impact] + This release demotes nvidia-settings and nvidia-prime from "Recommends" + to "Suggests" dependencies for the -server NVIDIA drivers, for the following reasons: - The Ubuntu default behavior is to install "recommended" packages. - The -server packages are associated with TRDs, which are generally used on Tesla GPUs, which are generally used on servers. - nvidia-settings pulls in many GUI bits which are generally not relevant to servers. + + + [Test Case] + Installing the main metapackage should be possible without pulling in + the two above mentioned dependencies. + + [Regression Potential] + Low, as no change other than dropping the two dependencies is involved.
