I'm no longer interested in maintaining nvidia-cg-toolkit. You could ask Federico to see if he still wants to maintain this package. Also, I believe the license could allow nvidia-cg-toolkit sources and binaries to be included in non-free, thus there would be no need for the downloader tool. -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
