I realize my "provide those source+binary packages" comment was not clear, please let me try to fix that. As Adrian mentioned, the source-only upload should work, just keep in mind that you need to include the orig.tar.* (-sa) since security-master doesn't know about it. With "providing the binary", I understood you proposed to place the bullseye packages (builds) somewhere, so other people could test them, as Tobi and Ariel have stepped up for. Does that match your initial idea? I would assume that amd64 binaries would be OK. I am afraid I don't have any NVidia HW myself. It would be ideal to test the bullseye packages before uploading them. Thanks again, -- Santiago Ruano Rincón ◈ Freexian SARL https://www.freexian.com
