* Make it conflict with driver 180 (LP: #297543)
* Make it easier to add the support for new flavours in nvidia-glx-VER.preinst
* Switch to DKMS patching system (in debian/rules) so as to have different
  patches for different kernel versions

15. By Alberto Milone on 2008-11-02

* Add diversions on /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2,
  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so without checking their existence in
  Ubuntu 32 bit too (LP: #287470)
* Remove quotation marks from the SOURCES varialble in
  nvidia-VER-kernel-source.postinst

14. By Alberto Milone on 2008-10-13

* Fix (LP: #282284) Replace the nvidia-xconfig binary with a
  script which depends on python-xkit and covers the basic
  functionalities of nvidia-xconfig
* Add dependency on python-xkit to nvidia-glx-173
* Test the existence of the dkms folder in
  nvidia-173-kernel-source.postinst

13. By Alberto Milone on 2008-09-22

Fix (LP: #262027) Make sure to remove (in
nvidia-173-kernel-source.postinst) any directory which
was not removed because of bug 261816

12. By Bryce Harrington on 2008-09-11

Rebuild against the new xserver-xorg-dev.

11. By Alberto Milone on 2008-08-29

* Fix (LP: #261816) Replace "remove" with "remove|upgrade" in the
  case loop in nvidia-177-kernel-source.prerm so that older versions
  of the drivers are removed in case of upgrade
* Add a patch to support kernel 2.6.27. Call smp_call_function() and on_each_cpu()
  with 3 arguments instead of 4 if kernel == 2.6.27.

10. By Alberto Milone on 2008-08-22

Fix (LP: #254969) Make nvidia-glx-173 conflict with xorg-driver-fglrx

9. By Alberto Milone on 2008-08-20

* Fix (LP: #254444) Remove pound from link in nvidia-glx-173-dev.links.in
* Fix (LP: #259105) Add missing link to usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.#VERSION# in
  usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so

8. By Alberto Milone on 2008-08-09

* Don't test the existence of libGL.so, libGL.so.1, libGL.so.1.2 in /usr/lib32 when
  adding a diversion on them in the preinst. This will make sure that NVIDIA's
  libGL.so.xx will win against the one in ia32-libs [amd64]
* Remove diversions of libGL.so in the preinst added by nvidia-glx-VER and add a new
  diversion of the file to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.xlibmesa [amd64]
* Remove diversion of libGL.so in the postrm.in [amd64]
* Remove dependency on ia32-libs [amd64]

Make sure that the installers are executable in the debian/rules
