Bug#688100: unblock: fglrx-driver/1:12-6+point-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package fglrx-driver
This update fixes some small issues (e.g. tightening dependencies) and is
primarily a documentation update that adds information about the
fglrx-legacy-driver package which can be used for models no longer
supported by fglrx-driver.
The non-documentation changes have been applied to the
nvidia-graphics-drivers* packages (where appropriate), too.
fglrx-driver (1:12-6+point-2) unstable; urgency=low
* fglrx-driver.postrm: Do not fail if the debconf templates are not
available (i.e. if the package is unconfigured).
* fglrx-source: Add Built-Using attribute to the generated module packages
to record the exact versions of linux and fglrx-driver that were used
during the build.
* libgl1-fglrx-glx:i386: Add Breaks: ia32-libs (<< 20120701) because that is
still shipping /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 which gets no longer diverted away.
(Closes: #683853)
* fglrx-atieventsd: Add Depends: glx-alternative-fglrx to ensure the
triggers are processed and the glx alternative is properly setup before
the atieventsd is started. (See: #684000)
* Check for "UNSIGNED" in /etc/ati/signature during package build to
prevent reappearence of bugs like #684702.
* Update Homepage to point to AMD.
* Update watch file.
* README.Debian: Add link to unofficial bugzilla for upstream bug reports.
* fglrx-driver.NEWS, libfglrx.templates: Mention the availability of
fglrx-legacy-driver which supports the legacy Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000.
This package is currently only in experimental but it will be provided in
wheezy-backports, too.

There will be translation updates later on (a call was just sent) which
will result in another upload and a new unblock request.
A debdiff --exclude '*.po*' is attached.
