The nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental package is a fork of the nvidia-graphics-drivers package, so as per MIR Note #3 it does not need a full review. But I'll highlight the principle concerns worth consideration:
# TODO: Re-target this against nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental once the package is uploaded.
Availability: TBD
Rationale: This package will contain beta versions of upstream nvidia drivers, which are not currently provided via any other mechanisms. These are expected to be required by certain 3rd party commercial games at the time of their release. Supporting commercial game vendors is an important goal for Ubuntu and Canonical.
Quality Assurance: This package is maintained and installed the same way as nvidia alternative drivers, so largely benefits from the QA done on our regular packaging. The mission of the package is to provide less-tested beta drivers, so by definition the level of QA will be lower than with stable nvidia drivers; but the package is opt-in, and a user-visible warning to this effect is included in the driver description.
Maintenance: This package is maintained exclusively in Ubuntu. We will update from upstream as appropriate (such as at request by 3rd party game developers that require newer versions). As this is a closed source binary package we won't be able to fix most issues, but can pull new beta updates if needed as they're made available, and will of course be tending to any packaging flaws that arise. But our hope is to structure our processes such that this is largely a maintenance-free package that we just update once and a while.
Security: -nvidia has a history of security review including various known issues; this package is no better or worse on this count.
Security Checks, UI standards, Dependencies, Standards Compliance: Same as -nvidia
Background Information:
1. This package was proposed to the Technical Board for acceptance. Several members have signed off on it, but the official vote will probably happen at the next meeting: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2012-September/thread.html
2. The Ubuntu packaging for this driver is maintained in the experimental branch of the normal nvidia package, at github: https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-graphics-drivers
3. Once accepted to quantal, this package will be submitted for SRU to precise (See LP: #1047681)
4. On upgrade to a new Ubuntu release, users who have installed this driver will be automatically returned to the stable driver. |

The nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-304 package is a fork of the nvidia-graphics-drivers package, so as per MIR Note #3 it does not need a full review. But I'll highlight the principle concerns worth consideration:
[Availability]
Uploaded to nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-304 in Quantal.
[Rationale]
This package will contain one or more minor versions of upstream nvidia beta drivers, which are not currently provided via any other mechanisms. These are expected to be required by certain 3rd party commercial games at the time of their release. Supporting commercial game vendors is an important goal for Ubuntu and Canonical.
For risk reduction reasons, rather than a single nvidia-experimental package which we add new major versions to, we will be packaging each new major series as a separate source package. This way users are exposed to beta drivers at the point they opt-in. See tech board meeting for full discussion on this.
We are asking for MIR for the nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-304 package specifically at this time, but wish to get MIR approval for all subsequent new versions in the nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-NNN series. These will all be essentially the same packaging code, except for different version numbers and blobs.
[Quality Assurance]
This package is maintained and installed the same way as nvidia alternative drivers, so largely benefits from the QA done on our regular packaging. The mission of the package is to provide less-tested beta drivers, so by definition the level of QA will be lower than with stable nvidia drivers; but the package is opt-in, and a user-visible warning to this effect is included in the driver description.
