[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#514788: nvidia-kernel-source: nvidia-glx 180.22-2 is still in experimental instead of unstable

[Török Edwin]

Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 180.22-2
Severity: normal


The package currently in unstable (173.14.09-5) is unusable on recent kernels
(2.6.28.x), the package in experimental works fine.
I think the package has spent enough time in experimental and it should be moved
to unstable.
I use unstable because I want the latest software, yet the latest software is in
experimental. I don't see the point of keeping something in experimental more
than a few days ...
