Drop unnecessary dependency on fglrx-modaliases. It will be pulled in
from jockey's recommends (and be removable then).

24. By Alberto Milone on 2010-03-15

* debian/control:
  - Add dependency on fglrx-modaliases.
* debian/nvidia-common.config:
  - Put back the config script with only one line to source
    debconf so that the template file is loaded when
    nvidia-common is triggered by kernel hooks (LP: #533970).
    Thanks to Colin Watson for the advice.
* NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
  - Add the update_gmenu method and call it in set_alternative
    so that the gnome menu is updated when we switch between
    drivers (LP: #548751).
  - Add the resolve_module_alias method so as to retrieve the
    module name from the alias (relevant to #547066).

23. By Alberto Milone on 2010-03-03

* Make sure that /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video is removed
  so that it doesn't interfere with nvidia (LP: #467490).
* debian/nvidia-common.postinst:
  - Remove db_stop as suggested by Colin Watson, as it
    can do more harm than good there.
  - Move the debconf part into the postinst and get rid
    of the config script (which was run before
    nvidia-common was configured, with unpredictable
    results). Thanks to Colin Watson for the advice.
  - Don't test the existence of nvidia-detector.
* share/obsolete:
  - Add nvidia-glx-{190|195} so as to take care of
    packages from PPAs.

22. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-16

* NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
  - Make sure that the PATH environment variable is set
    so that subprocess knows where to find binaries in
    /sbin (LP: #518879).

21. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-04

* NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
  - Call ldconfig after setting an alternative.

20. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-19

* NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
  - Set self.__open_drivers_alternative to 'mesa/ld.so.conf' so as to
    adapt to the fact that the alternative lives in mesa now.
  - Do not pass arguments to the list_alternatives method.
  - Use subprocess.check_call instead of .call so as to get the exit
    status in addition to the return code.

19. By Alberto Milone on 2010-01-11

* setup.py:
  - Add pre-inst hook for the NVIDIA installer as
    the latter may interact badly with the Ubuntu
    packages(LP: #317703).
* NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py:
  - Handle driver flavours which have strings (instead
    of integers in their name).
* NvidiaDetector/alternatives.py:
  - Alternatives class to get the list of alternatives
    and to get and set the alternative in use.
* nvidia-common:
  - ${LATEST} should have quotation marks (LP: #505855).

18. By Mario Limonciello <supermario@dell-desktop> on 2010-01-10

* debian/control::
  - Depends on nvidia-current-modaliases since 185 is no longer used.

17. By Michael Vogt on 2009-10-27

* debian/postinst:
  - remove leftover /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video (LP: #459829)

16. By Alberto Milone on 2009-08-19

* debian/control:
  - Drop dependency on nvidia-180-modaliases.
  - Add dependency on nvidia-185-modaliases.
