ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.2.56 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.56) quantal; urgency=low

  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: Add nvidia-* for automatic installation after
    discussion with Chris. The proprietary driver is still the better choice
    (if you click "proprietary 3rd party drivers" in Ubiquity) until Nouveau
    enables power management.
  * tests/ubuntu_drivers.py: Update test_auto_install_chroot() for above
    change, as nvidia now does get installed automatically.
  * Quirks/quirkapplier.py: Update to current xkit API: Call write(), not
    writeFile(). (LP: #1014728)
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: Change system_modaliases() to return an alias →
    sysfs_path map, instead of just a list of aliases.
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: Change system_driver_packages() to return a
    package → info map, instead of just a list of packages. UI can use the
    info to show which device requested a driver, whether it is free or
    proprietary, and whether it is a distro or third-party package.
    (LP: #1013665)
  * Fix fd leaks from subprocess in the test suite.
  * Add debian/tests/system and debian/tests/control: Add autopkg test to
    check that we can detect, install, and remove the nvidia, fglrx, and bcmwl
    drivers. Due to their nature of being compiled on the client side and
    depend on matching kernel headers/API, they are inherently a bit brittle
    and thus we should spot regressions immediately.
