Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: bookworm User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu Control: affects -1 + src:nvidia-graphics-drivers Control: block 1063363 with -1 Control: block 1062932 with -1
[ Reason ]
1) A backported (by upstream) change in Linux 6.1.76 (included in
today's point release) broke compilation of the non-free nvidia kernel
module. A patched version of the driver is available in sid.
2) In order to simplify future maintenance of the many Nvidia driver
packages (also in stable and oldstable) I'm going to remove the
distinction between "normal" and "Tesla" drivers (they were at the
same version in stable anyway). The Tesla specific bits
(src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla) will be merged into
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers (that mainly means addition of the ppc64el
architecture to these packages, and building some binary packages from
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers instead: nvidia-powerd, nvidia-cuda-mps).
nvidia-detect has been updated, too, as it no longer needs to
distinguish the Tesla variants.
There will be one further update to src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla
in stable that turns these packages into transitional packages depending
on their counterparts from src:nvidia-graphics-drivers. (Separate PU
request upcoming.)
There will also be a PU request for nvidia-settings, as we need to
enable building that on ppc64el. (The src:nvidia-settings-tesla package
will then become obsolete.)
3) In order to better integrate the nvidia driver with the system power
management, a new package nvidia-suspend-common is being introduced
which properly ships and enables some systemd units that were previously
only being shipped as examples. These power management changes are an
enhancement for the 525 series, but seem to be required in the 535
series. (We will have to switch to the 535 LTSB series in stable soon,
as 525 has reached EoL. 535 will be supported till mid 2026, so that will
be the last driver branch switch for bookworm.)
nvidia-suspend-common was already prepared in the previous pu update,
but not yet enabled on stable as it hadn't undergone enough testing. As
no new issues have popped up on sid, I'm confident to enable this in
stable now.
[ Impact ]
Users are unable to use the non-free nvidia module.
[ Tests ]
Only module building can be (and has been) tested. Everything else
requires use of nvidia hardware and the driver.
[ Risks ]
This time there is no new upstream release involved, but some larger
packaging changes which have been taken unchanged from sid.
I prefer to not mix a new upstream version in there as well.

- merging the git tesla-525 and tesla/525 branches into the 525 branch
brought some changelog synchronization
- the control changes are mostly adding Arch: ppc64el (control is
generated from control.in)
- the removed nvidia-detect .ids files were duplicates there are no
longer needed after unifying the normal and Tesla packages
- since I frequently forget to update nvidia-detect for the new codename
of testing, I added an autopkgtest to remind me ;-)
[ Other info ]
It would be great if we could get this into stable-pu quickly as todays
point release broke nvidia-kernel-dkms in stable.
