Bug Description
I am trying to package PyOpenCL and PyCUDA for Ubuntu (see #607407). In Debian there is many different packages containing NVIDIA-related files, while Ubuntu contains two packages: nvidia-current and nvidia-current-dev.
If Ubuntu packages would provide packages like those in Debian, it would be trivial to include Debian packages into Ubuntu.
I would like to have:
nvidia-current:
Provides:
- libcuda1
- nvidia-libcompiler1
- nvidia-libopencl1
- nvidia-
nvidia-current-dev:
- libcuda1-dev
- nvidia-
- nvidia-
Thanks

To post a comment you must log in.
The boinc package in Debian introduces two new packages to pull in libraries for GPU computation. graphics- drivers / nvidia-current.
The first one would need to be satisfied by nvidia-
To avoid any delta in this regard, a "Provides:" would be required here.
Package: boinc-nvidia-cuda
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, boinc, libcuda1, libcuda1-ia32 [amd64], ia32-libs [amd64]
Package: boinc-amd-opencl
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, boinc, fglrx-driver, amd-libopencl1
