I've thought about it, but I believe Debian's policy would require that it be an entirely separate source package... which is double the maintenence burden, and I don't know if the ftpmasters would even accept two almost-identical source packages. Given that NVIDIA's own code can't even read the sensors on my graphics card, and that NVIDIA hardware is non-free crap in the first place, my motivation to work on this issue myself is pretty much zero. However if you (or anyone else) would like to maintain a branch of the package I will help you. :) > 2) Following your documentation in /usr/share/doc it's not possible to > create the package with nv support. > The problem are two missing headerfiless (NVCtrl/NVCtrl.h and > NVCtrl/NVCtrlLib.h). > These are should be part of nvidia-settings package, but there is only > the lib included and not the header files. > One has to download the source package and copy the files manually. > > The best solution would be to ask the maintainer of nvidia-settings to > put the whole NVCtrl stuff in a separate -dev package. Hm, I seem to remember filing a but about this but I can't remember. I'll investigate at some point. > 3) There should be somewhere a hint, that hddtemp support in > sensors-applet requires hddtemp to be run in daemon mode. > And perhaps your package should recommend hddtemp. Good idea, I will have the next version of the package recommend hddtemp. This will coincide with preparation of the packages of sensors-applet 1.8.1. :) > Thanks and best wishes, > Chris.
