Dear Maintainers,
I have a bug report on file with Nvidia for which they have asked me
to try driver version 384.59. I know if I use Nivida's installer,
it will mess up my system completely. So I am hoping to build proper
Debian packages using source package nvidia-graphics-drivers with
Nvidia's installer.
I am writing to ask whether the instructions in debian/README.source
are up to date and are likely to be sufficient to enable me to build
version 384.59. (I have already hit a failure in the first step,
which is uscan --report, and before continuing I thought it wise
to check in.)
If you are interested, the bug I have filed with Nvidia is their bug
number 1967181, and the dialog is at
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/account/questions/detail/i_id/1226132
I believe it may be related to Debian bug #792113.
