Package: nvidia-detect
Version: 313.18-2
Severity: wishlist
nvidia-detect is currently part on non-free, like the rest of
nvidia-graphics-drivers. nvidia-graphics-drivers in general is currently
non-free, but nvidia-detect in particular has no non-free content. The
script has no common license, but I'm offering my contribution under
anything wanted.
nvidia-detect technically doesn't depend on anything non-free, however
it is clearly strongly associated with the non-free rest of
nvidia-graphics-drivers, therefore contrib would be a understandable
section.
I would argue main may be the best choice, given that the script could
evolve into something a bit greater than a versions advisor. It could
certainly recommend using nouveau to vesa users, for example.
By the way, I recommend to consider making nvidia-detect a source
package. This would ease updates after nvidia-graphics-drivers is
frozen. It would be best not to leave nvidia-detect untouched in stable
for the duration of a whole release cycle.
