Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
I'd like to move src:nvidia-settings from contrib to main as follows: nvidia-settings source/contrib => source/main nvidia-settings any/contrib => any/contrib libxnvctrl0 any/contrib => any/main libxnvctrl-dev any/contrib => any/main Rationale is as follows: libxnvctrl is useful in main since it can be used to query for availability of the NV-CONTROl X extension (that is provided by the non-free driver) without requiring the non-free driver to be available. At least two packages are interested in doing this: * conky (currently has forked off a source package in contrib) and * chromium (has an embedded copy of libxnvctrl). The nvidia-settings binary package would stay in contrib since it requires the non-free driver to be usable. There are no non-free or contrib Build-Depends. A library with similar purpose is libvdpau that also moved to main. See #747837 for the original request against nvidia-settings. I'm not sure what needs to be removed or otherwise prepared for doing this switch. I'd prefer a solution that does not involve removal of nvidia-settings from *testing*. After this was handled in sid, we need to do the similar move in experimental. My last upload to sid/main of a new upstream version got rejected: > Subject: nvidia-settings_331.79-1_amd64.changes REJECTED > > An exception was raised while processing the package: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/srv/ftp-master.debian.org/dak/dak/process_policy.py", line 98, in > wrapper > function(upload, srcqueue, comments, transaction) > File "/srv/ftp-master.debian.org/dak/dak/process_policy.py", line 150, in > comment_accept > transaction.copy_source(upload.source, suite, > source_component_func(upload.source), allow_tainted=allow_tainted) > File "/srv/ftp-master.debian.org/dak/dak/process_policy.py", line 142, in > source_component_func > .join(Component).one() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/query.py", line 2193, > in one > "Multiple rows were found for one()") > MultipleResultsFound: Multiple rows were found for one() > > Original comments: > > Would it be helpful if I upload this again to DELAYED/30 and ftp-master moves it to DELAYED/0 once they have done the neccessary preparation?
