Prerequisites

Clone this git repository:

Supported branches: buster & bullseye

git clone -b ${branch} https://github.com/NVIDIA/debian-packaging-nvidia-driver
> ex: git clone -b bullseye https://github.com/NVIDIA/debian-packaging-nvidia-driver

Download a NVIDIA driver runfile:

• TRD location: https://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/ (not browsable)

  ex: https://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/470.108.03/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.108.03.run

• UDA location: https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/

  ex: https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/460.56/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-460.56.run

• CUDA runfiles: cuda_${toolkit}_${driver}_linux.run are not compatible.

  However a NVIDIA driver runfile can be extracted intact from a CUDA runfile:

  sh cuda_${toolkit}_${driver}_linux.run --tar mxvf
  > ex: sh cuda_11.2.1_460.32.03_linux.run --tar mxvf
  
  ls builds/NVIDIA-Linux-${arch}-${driver}.run
  > ex: ls builds/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_460.32.03.run

Install build dependencies

note: these are only needed for building not installation

# Packaging
apt-get install debhelper devscripts dpkg-dev
