Bug#928147: unblock: nvidia-graphics-drivers/418.56-2



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package nvidia-graphics-drivers et.al.

The proprietary 410.xx nvidia driver currently in buster has been
superseded by a new upstream long lived branch: 418.xx. There will
probably be no further upstream 410.xx releases (relevant in case
of new CVEs). In stretch we have been tracking upstream long lived
branches (until the 390.xx upstream legacy branch was started), and
I plan to do the same for buster. So 418.xx or newer will probably
find it's way into buster at some point anyway.
Therefore let's better start with a modern version that also supports
more current graphics cards.

There are no relevant packaging changes (that are unrelated to new
upstream releases) this time.

We build the packages from several source packages, since sources are
available for some components. As mixing different (major) versions is
untested, we should not have diverging versions of the individual
components.
