[Bug 346621] [NEW] Standing FF exception for nouveau-kernel-source, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nouveau-kernel-source

I'd like to request a standing feature-freeze exception for the two
nouveau packages for Jaunty: the DDX package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
and the DRM module built from the nouveau-kernel-source package.

The nouveau drivers are currently experimental, and haven't seen a
formal release.  While Red Hat is paying darktama to work on them full
time, and will be attempting to switch the default nvidia driver from nv
to nouveau either in Fedora 11 or 12, the code is still undergoing a
fair bit of flux.  As such, the best way to help users and upstream is
for the Ubuntu packages to follow upstream git fairly closely.

As the nouveau drivers were not included in Intrepid, and these packages
are only used by people explicitly choosing to test nouveau, the risk of
regressions is low.
