[18:04] <mamarley> ricotz: Looks like the first nvidia 358.xx beta is out.  I am going to start with packaging nvidia-settings, only because I have no idea what the official procedure for packaging a new major release of the drivers themselves is.  I have done it a few times, but like everything else I was doing it was probably wrong.
[18:23] <ricotz> mamarley, nice, there are probably some more delicate changes which needs some packaging adjustments, but I can't look at it today, maybe tomorrow
[18:26] <mamarley> I will do my best and at least get an orig.tar.gz uploaded so you don't have to wait around for that.
[18:27] <ricotz> hehe, I can upload it too just take a bit longer ;)
[18:48] <mamarley> ricotz: nvidia-settings packages are up: https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages
[18:51] <mamarley> And 358.09 actually packaged cleanly using the debian/ directory from 355.11.  Let me see if it will actually install...
[18:55] <ricotz> mamarley, did you read the changelog?
[18:56] <ricotz> https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/884727
[18:57] <mamarley> About nvidia-modeset?  Yeah, I saw that.  I am going to see if I can get that compiling with dkms next.
[18:57] <mamarley> I am just trying to get it working one step at a time.
[18:58] <ricotz> ok
[19:20] <mamarley> I have nvidia-modeset compiling with DKMS now too.
[19:20] <mamarley> I may very well have done something wrong, but hopefully this will at least save you a bit of time tomorrow.
[19:45] <mamarley> ricotz: So the 358.09 package I uploaded to my staging PPA works, but it is necessary to manually load the nvidia-modeset module before it will work.  I will troubleshoot that, but I need to go do something else at the moment.
