Control: affects -1 + src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-535
I'd like to introduce a new package into bookworm:
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-535
[ Reason ]
Nvidia has stopped providing ppc64el builds for new releases of the
nvidia graphics drivers, including the ltsb branches. Therefore we need
to drop the ppc64el driver builds when updating
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers to new upstream releases fixing CVEs.
The ppc64el removal has an impact on the whole nvidia stack and the IMO
easiest workaround is to fork the last driver supporting ppc64el to have
a package satisfying the otherwise broken dependencies. This package
won't see further updates (due to lack of upstream support for ppc64el)
and will therefore accumulate CVEs ...
(I haven't started with the ppc64el removal in sid, yet, so I can't give
an estimation of the effort doing that in bookworm, too.)
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-535 is a fork from
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers which supports old GPUs that will be dropped
in the 570 series (which will soon reach experimental and sid)
After this version has reached bookworm, I'll drop ppc64el support in
sid (and upgrade to a newer upstream version), a change that won't be
backported to bookworm.
[ Impact ]
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers can't be upgraded to new upstream releases
fixing CVEs.
[ Tests ]
autopkgtests for building the kernel modules
anything else would require nvidia gpus and using the proprietary driver
[ Risks ]
new package - no risks right now
[ Checklist ]
[*] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[ ] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
A debdiff with the changes compared to the package in sid is
attached.
[*] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-535 (535.216.03-2~deb12u1) bookworm;
urgency=medium
* Rebuild for bookworm.
* This is a fork of the last driver release from the 535 series that still
supports the ppc64el architecture. Nvidia has discontinued ppc64el support
and further updates of src:nvidia-graphics-drivers will therefore drop the
ppc64el driver.
* Do not build for i386 or arm64.
* Provide more package names that will be dropped from
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers to not break reverse dependencies.

[ Other info ]
I wanted to make changes to as few packages as possible in bookworm and
without breaking any dependencies (and without relying on cruft packages
that may remain in bookworm after dropping ppc64el driver binaries from
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers). Therefore I've tried to bundle all
neccessary changes into this new package.
The new package is strictly not needed for amd64, but having it
available there allows me easier testing that it is not completely
broken ;-)
