Bug#363014: missing OpenGL manpages

[Joachim Reichel]

Hi,

I'm also missing the OpenGL manpages. I might be interested in
packaging, but first I would like to find out more about the background.

Do we know why the manpages where dropped from the mesa package? Maybe
for legal reasons?

Why are the manpages in X.org 6.9, but not in 7.0? Is this a result of
the new modular structure of X.org?

What would be the best source to get the manpages from? The X.org 6.9
release? Some older mesa release? I was unable to find the license of
the manpages in X.org 6.9 ...

It seems that the manpages from X.org sources encompass more commands
than the manpages from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/opengl/doc/man*.tar.Z .

There is also a HTML version of these manpages. This should probably be
packaged too. But I can't find the HTML version in the X.org sources,
only in the packages from the SGI site.

Regards,
  Joachim
