[ Reason ]
In prepararion to upgrading nvidia-graphics-drivers(-tesla) to the 535
series (a new LTSB branch announced last week and supported until
June 2026, i.e. sufficient for bookworm) I'd like to split
src:nvidia-settings (building binary packages in main and contrib) into
src:libxnvctrl (in main) and src:nvidia-settings (in contrib).
src:libxnvctrl will most likely see no further updates over the lifetime
of bookworm, while src:nvidia-settings.
As a side effect of this decoupling, bin:nvidia-settings will no longer
be a key package, removing a lot of contrib and non-free packages from
the key package set.
[ Impact ]
Maintaining the new (split style) in sid/trixie and the old (merged
style) in bookworm while updating src:nvidia-settings in bookworm for
updated src:nvidia-drivers(-tesla) versions will be much more difficult
and less tested than doing the package split in stable, too, and just
rebuilding the packages from sid later on.
(This does not affect bullseye which cannot be updated beyond the 470
driver series, so no more nvidia-settings updates are expected there.)
[ Tests ]
diffoscope showed binary identical (excluding metadata) packages built
from src:nvidia-settings (old style) and src:libxnvctrl.
[ Risks ]
Low, the libxnvctrl0, libxnvctrl-dev packages only have metadata
changes.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[ ] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
the NEW package is is ready in experimental, and I'll upload it to
both sid and bookworm if this request is granted.
[ Changes ]
Most of the diff is just deletion of the packaging bits needed for the
nvidia-settings binary package.
[ Other info ]
This package may require stable-NEW processing.

-Description: tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics
driver${nvidia:VariantDesc}
- The nvidia-settings utility is a tool for configuring the NVIDIA
- Linux graphics driver. It operates by communicating with the NVIDIA
- X driver, querying and updating state as appropriate. This
- communication is done with the NV-CONTROL X extension.
- .
- Values such as brightness and gamma, XVideo attributes, temperature,
- and OpenGL settings can be queried and configured via nvidia-settings.
