Package: libgl1-mesa-dri-dev
Version: 6.3.2-2
Severity: wishlist
I recently traded xlibmesa-gl for libgl1-mesa-dri in hopes of getting better
3D support on my laptop. I'll admit that I don't really understand the
differences between all the packages that provide libGL.so, but if I properly
understood Marcelo's recent explanation[1], I think I have the right package
now.
The problem is that xlibmesa-gl-dev contains man pages for opengl, but
libgl1-mesa-dri-dev does not. I would assume that since both of these
packages provide similar functionality, they should both provide the
documentation (or the docs could be split into a separate package).
For an example of the problem, try `apt-file search glColor.3x.gl', or do the
seach on the web[2].
