Package: nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Version: 7.0.28-1
Severity: important

Hi,

To my surprise the CUDA 7.0 upload has missed the ppc64el architecture.

See LINUX POWER8 section at:
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-70
there is indeed ppc64el package present:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/7_0/Prod/local_installers/rpmdeb/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-7-0-local_7.0-28_ppc64el.deb

That deb package is of size ~600MB.

So, should we prepare the 7.0.28-2 with support for ppc64el arch ?
This BUG blocks CUDA 7.5.

Thanks.
