Is this something you want to see in wheezy? In that case please ask for a freeze exception. Otherwise this will be delayed after the release. > + ALTERNATIVE_FILES=... you need some quotes there ... 304xx will be a new legacy branch, probably we need to fork nvidia-settings-legacy-304xx, so we should keep this in mind and could use proper names right from the beginning ... The #LEGACY_OR_CURRENT# approach does not work for 96xx with has to use nvidia-settings-legacy-173xx #SETTINGS_SUFFIX# might be more generic If we rename nvidia-settings.png to nvidia-settings$SUFFIX.png and use this in the .desktop file, we can avoid an alternative. With your patch, the menu entry will only be available if nvidia-alternative is installed, while the binaries/manpage can be reached with their specific names (not the generic nvidia-settings name). What happens if we use nvidia-settings$SUFFIX.desktop (and no alternative for this one, too)? Andreas PS: ACK for the two other menu updates. PPS: a single bug which affects the other packages would have been sufficient for the beginning (or even assigned to the 4 packages: Package: pkg1,pkg2,pkg3,pkg4) as it reduces the number of copies of the patches floating around ... lets keep discussion and updates here -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
