25. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-17

  * debian/nvidia-96.postinst.in:
    - Remove gl_libraries slave link as the file in ld.so.conf.d is
      enough.

24. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-17

  * Changes up to version 96.43.14-0ubuntu3.
  * debian/control.in:
    - There's no need for the -dev package to conflict with
      the mesa development packages any more.
  * debian/nvidia-96.postinst.in:
    - Do not set slaves for libglx and libdri. We don't need
      this any more as, thanks to a change in X, xorg_extra_modules
      will suffice.
    - Set link to in /usr/lib/GL with alternatives.
  * Assign copyright to Canonical Ltd instead of Canonical
    Services Ltd in the packaging scripts and in the copyright
    file.

23. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-07

  * debian/nvidia-96.postinst.in:
    - Revert path change for glx. Only libdri needed that.

22. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-07

  * debian/nvidia-96.postinst.in:
    - X.Org extensions are now in /usr/lib/standard-x11/.

21. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-07

  * debian/nvidia-96.postinst.in:
    - Rename the link in /etc/modprobe.d as nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
      so that it's less likely that the file is already in use.
    - Put the link to XvMCConfig in /usr/lib since our customised libxvmc
      looks for it there now.
  * debian/nvidia-96.override.in:
    - Remove duplicates.

20. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-06

  * debian/rules:
    - $PKG_deskdir should really be $PKG_datadir so that .desktop
      files are not installed in /usr/share/applications/nvidia-$FLAVOUR.

19. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-05

    * debian/nvidia-96.install.in:
      - Patches are in debian/dkms/patches not in debian/patches.
      - Remove references to the man pages (as we deal with them in rules file).
    * debian/rules:
      - Do not install patches. The .install file already deals with them.
      - Simplify the installation of libraries and improve code comments.
      - Disable the stack markings of binaries before installing them.

18. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-05

  * debian/nvidia-96.prerm.in:
    - Do not remove the alternative on upgrade.

17. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-04

  * debian/rules:
    - Use PKG_tlsdir instead of tlsdir for templates.
    - Remove existence and link checks when disabling stack markings.

16. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-04

  * debian/nvidia-96.links.in, debian/nvidia-96.links32.in:
    - Do not create links for cuda and vdpau.
  * debian/rules:
    - Do not pass execstack more than one argument.
