Hello guys,

CUDA 8.0 support can be seen in the release note of 361.X. for example:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/361.91/361.91-win10-win8-win7-winvista-desktop-release-notes.pdf

that means CUDA 8.0 will come soon.
Debian's latest nvidia driver pending driver is 355.X
pending in the NEW queue. 

@doko:
When will Debian switch its default compiler to 6.0?

Assume that cuda 8.0 works with gcc-6,
if we have chance to sync the cuda 8.0 upload and
gcc-6 transition, we can avoid breaking some packages.
I've really had bad experience packaging cuda software
when GCC is transitioning to 5, everything is not working.
I hope we can eliminate this nightmare for other devs.

I'll test GCC-6 compatibility with CUDA 8.0 when it comes,
and inform you all in a new bug.

Thanks. :-)
