* New upstream release:
- Removed libvdpau and libvdpau_trace from the NVIDIA driver
package. VDPAU is not supported on the legacy hardware
supported on the release 304 legacy driver branch. The
libvdpau_nvidia vendor library is still included, so users who
wish to use VDPAU with newer hardware that still works with
release 304 drivers may install libvdpau from packages provided
by the OS vendor where available, or from the source code
available at:

* New upstream release.
* debian/substvars:

* debian/substvars:
- Add support for X ABIs 15 and 18 and for lts-trusty (LP: #1294163).
* New upstream release:
- Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels (LP: #1294163).
- Fixed a bug that could result in system instability while
restoring the VGA console.
- Fixed an interaction problem with xserver 1.15 that
occasionally caused OpenGL applications to continue rendering
when they are minimized or unmapped.
- Updated nvidia-bug-report. sh to search the systemd journal for
X server logs and messages from the NVIDIA kernel module.
- Added support for X.org xserver ABI 18 (xorg-server 1.16).
- Fixed a bug that caused corruption or blank screens on monitors
that use EDID version 1.3 or older when they are connected via
DisplayPort on graphics boards that use external DisplayPort
encoders, such as the Quadro FX 4800. - 6. By Alberto Milone

* New upstream release (LP: #1259237):
- Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
- Updated the NVIDIA OpenGL driver to write temporary files to
$TMPDIR if it is set, instead of unconditionally writing to
/tmp (LP: #1212425).
- Updated a fallback of writing temporary files to $HOME/.nvidia
to use $HOME/.nv instead, as the latter path is already used
for other NVIDIA driver related files.[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/substvars:
- Add support for lts flavours up to saucy.
* debian/templates/ control. in:
- Depend on lib32gcc1 [amd64], libc6-i386 [amd64]
(LP: #1236945).
- Drop lpia.
* debian/templates/ dkms.conf. in:
- Drop patche for Linux 3.11.
* debian/rules:
- Blacklist the opposite flavour.
- Blacklist kernel modules from the other flavours.
* debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. dirs.in,
debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. install. in,
debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. override. in,
debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. postinst. in,
debian/nvidia- autostart. desktop. in,
debian/ubuntu- nvidia- settings. desktop. in:
- Remove nvidia-settings icon, desktop file, and autostart file.
This is all provided by nvidia-settings now.
* debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. prerm.in,
debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. install. in,
debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. postinst. in:
- Disable glamoregl.
- Do not update gmenucache any more.[ Andy Dick ]
* debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. preinst. in:
- Attempt uninstallation of any existing .run file
installation before installing Debian-packaged
driver.
* debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. postinst. in:
- Add libcuda.so symlinks in /usr/lib*.
* debian/rules:
- Conditionalize the copying of Makefile.kbuild to
Makefile. This adds support for newer drivers,
while maintaining support for packaging older drivers.
- Avoid extracting unnecessary .run files. The 64-bit
package needs both the 32- and 64-bit .run files, but
the 32-bit package does not. Change the unpackaging
rules to unpack only the native package by default,
and only unpack the 32-bit x86 package on amd64.
Also, instead of changing the .run file permissions
to ensure that the .run file is executable, just call
it as an argument to sh.
- Don't assume that extracted files are writable.
The package contents extracted from some .run file
installers may not have write permissions enabled.
To work around this, move files instead of copying
them to a temporary location before running sed
scripts, and add force flags to applicable commands. - 5. By Alberto Milone

version of libvdpau shipped with the NVIDIA driver.
- Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that could cause the
wrong resolution to be set in basic mode for setups
based on one display per X screen. - 4. By Alberto Milone
