In Debian, nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings are in separate source packages (source was extracted from nvidia-graphics-drivers) because they are "free" and you can't build "free" binary packages from a "non-free" source package (nvidia-graphics-drivers). > as their binaries also have been compiled by the make procedure, > The package named modaliases is new for Debian, includes a listing of ids for > the supported models of graphics cards. The modaliases addition looks the most interesting to me because the Debian package does not yet have something like this. But I don't know if Debian can make use of modaliases files, as this looks more like an Ubuntu thing right now. > the script debian/upstream upgrades the source package looking for the latest > available version in the Nvidia ftp site, Jordi Pujol wrote: > A Dilluns, 3 de maig de 2010 19:23:38, vàreu escriure: >> Things won't keep changing quite this fast, but at least at the moment you >> really want to work from Subversion because a lot is getting committed on >> a weekly basis. >> > well, I will try this, > >> I'll do another upload as soon as I get a chance to sort out DKMS. > sorting out DKMS, to compile with DKMS or to not use it ? Russ meant "adding DKMS build support" (dkms is currently not supported), and I hope he meant to do this on-top-of or in-addition-to the current system, not to replace the current state. > look at my package, compiles the kernel module without any additional Makefile > and DKMS is not needed, Looks like you use the original NVIDIA build system - does this work without having a NVIDIA card installed? DKMS will probably make life easier for a lot of users because it takes care of having the correct module for your current kernel. (But I personally won't use this approach for servers.) I didn't check other features of your overhauled package, the distance from current svn (+ some more patches in the mailing list) is just too big.
