[ Reason ]
In prepararion to upgrading nvidia-graphics-drivers(-tesla) to the 535
series (a new LTSB branch announced last week and supported until
June 2026, i.e. sufficient for bookworm) I'd like to update
nvidia-modprobe to a new upstream release.
[ Impact ]
The 525 series currently in sid/bookworm is only supported until the end
of this year.
[ Tests ]
n/a
[ Risks ]
Low. No functional changes.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Except for the version bump there are no code changes. The backported
patch is now part of the upstream release. This is a rebuild of the
package from sid with no further changes.
[ Other info ]
nvidia-graphics-drivers has a versioned dependency on nvidia-modprobe
(>= $MAJOR_VERSION) to ensure we don't miss (again) the rare cases where
nvidia-modprobe actually had code changes. That version works with all
driver series, so we can start with uploading nvidia-modprobe even if
the driver packages are not yet ready.
