[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#523716: nvidia-kernel-source: fails to build

[Fabio Rosciano]

Hello everyone,

180.44-2 still does not build against 2.6.28, but it does build fine
against 2.6.29, both debian stock kernels and headers.

linux-kbuild are homemade since they seem to be missing from unstable
and they are built according to:

http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage

Here is the output of:

# m-a a-i nvidia

for 2.6.28-1-amd64:
