 What's funny about this is you want a package to be in testing but
 filing a RC bug just added to reasons preventing that. 

What does it take for non-free packages to move to testing?  Is it
automatic or not?  With 2.6.30 now in testing, nvidia-glx no longer
works in testing until we get the new version moved in.

The testing transition first requires a kernel module package to satisfy
the dependancy. Add to that no RC bugs.  And even then some manual
trickery might be required.

2009-10-29 Thread Randall Donald

 So can we build and upload the kernel modules or should we bug the
 kernel-modules-non-free package person to add us (since that should
 now work)?
 
We probably should go ahead with that soon. For all but 71xx which I
think we will drop for this release since it no longer works.

Well we will have to essentially.  nvidia seems to have clearly states
they do not intend to update 71xx for the new Xorg release.  So only 2D
support unless nuevou (sp?) gets done someday for those older cards.

It takes the same as main packages: aging, installability, buildability,
no new RC bugs, not breaking any package that is already in testing.

Cheers

I thought the excuse entry of 'section non-free/X11' might need manual
intervention.
