I just uploaded nvidia-graphics-drivers 180.44 that work with Debian’s 2.6.29 thanks to package team member Len Sorensen. If anyone wants to be as amazing as Len you may join the packaging team too.
I also did some BTS cleaning in regards to bugs reported by people not using the debian packages (and even said so) but reassigned to us anyway.
I am also battling a bad cold. I always get sick on holidays.
Oh one more thing. Go Canucks!

Doesn’t build on amd64 (same problem with 2.6.26):

Works like a charm here, thanks!
But I had to change "dh_builddeb –destdir=$(KPKG_DEST_DIR)" to "dh_builddeb –destdir=/usr/src" in /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/rules

Can we have the 185 series in experimental? 180 is broken for the G72 chipset and 174 conflicts with newer xorg in Debian.
