There is no merging happening. linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 simply build depends on nvidia-kernel-source package, and then proceeds to build the modules for each kernel variant. That is how the linux-modules-*-2.6 packages work. linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 simply lists nvidia-kernel os a module package to build. nvidia-kernel-source has to provide the appropriate Makefile for linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 to work with (which I just finished writing). So everytime debian does a new kernel version, they will do a new linux-modules-*-2.6 package listing the new kernel version, which will cause all the supported modules to be built. If a new nvidia-kernel-source version comes out, then it will get rebuilt too (quite how that is made to happen I am still not quite sure of). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
