Sorry for the delay. There is finally interest on having the

Andreas, would it be possible for you to provide those source+binary
packages for bullseye-security?
So we are talking about nvidia-graphics-drivers (535.247.01-1~deb11u1)
(Well, I should probably get 535.261.03 into bookworm-pu first and
backport that version instead.)
As I have no experience with doing LTS uploads, yet, ...
- Which versioning scheme should I use? (<bookworm_version>~deb11u1)
- Which distribution should I put in the changelog? (bullseye-security)
- Where to upload it? (dput ftp-master)
You mentioned source+binary uploads. For which architectures?
The non-free packages are whitelisted for autobuilding in the buildd
network.
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers 470.256.02-2 in bullseye currently has
binaries for
- amd64
- i386 (only libraries, no kernel module)
- arm64
- armhf (only nvidia-egl-common, only needed by
nvidia-legacy-390xx-egl-icd from src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-390xx)
There is no src:nvidia-open-gpu-kernel-modules in bullseye and there is
no need to introduce one.
Andreas
