Dear Release Team

Please consider a freeze exception for a new upstream release of
nvidia-cuda-toolkit.

Version 10.1 adds support for GCC 8 and Clang 7.  This will allow us
to drop gcc-7 from buster, as the only other packages needing gcc-7
are starpu and starpu-contrib (#924012) which will follow CUDA.

nvidia-cuda-toolkit is non-free and the build consists of unpacking
the pre-built binaries from upstream and repacking them into several
separate binary packages for Debian.  At this stage, 10.0 is in
experimental, and I still need to prepare the packaging for 10.1 and
have it go through NEW.

For what it is worth, Ubuntu completed the transition to 10.0 two
weeks ago, and I intend to test and complete the 10.1 transition there
as well before finally asking for an unblock for buster.

Regards
Graham

We considered.

At this stage, we don't consider dropping gcc-7 from buster important
enough to warrant the large changes required by this nvidia-cuda-toolkit
version to unblock.

Sorry.
