If libnvidia-egl-wayland1 is an essential package for (nVidia Users) kDE - 
Ubuntu / Debian based Distro's can we please get it updated to the latest 
version: 1.1.12

https://github.com/NVIDIA/egl-wayland
version: 1.1.12
- Added support for version 4 of the Linux DMA-BUF protocol
- Added support for EGL_EXT_explicit_device extension
- Fixed incomplete window resizing regression from 1.1.10
- Fixed eglSwapInterval when using DMA-BUF path

The libnvidia-egl-wayland1 package was last updated in the Ubuntu / Debian 
2021/ 2022 but has none of the above fixes.


Why is libnvidia-egl-wayland1 and essential package?

Because in currently in Plasma Wayland session, if this lib is not installed, 
then LLVMPIPE is used instead of the nVidia Driver (all releases).


Timo Aaltonen is the original maintainer for ubuntu.

Timo Aaltonen is also the maintainer for the package in Debian which is also 
outdated.


I use kDE_NEON. your bug tracker was a bit beyond me at the moment.


I do appreciate how incredibly busy everyone is.

Thankyou
