Full Text Bug Listing

If I remember correctly, xorg-x11 6.* included openGL and GLU man pages. I have
found no packages containing such for the modular 7.0 version. GL manpages are
very helpful. An ebuild to install them as opposed to bundling them with
another related to xorg seems to make sense.

It's not clear to me what the best way to provide them is. I found a 5-year-old
tarball at ftp://ftp.sgi.com/opengl/doc/ , and I found 1-year-old documentation
at http://www.opengl.org/documentation/specs/man_pages/man/GL/ -- but only in
postscript and html.

Maybe ask the people running opengl.org if the html documentation is available
in man page format (it is generated with PolyglotMan so there shoul a source).

I would sugest including atleast the old man pages, if nothing newer is found.
It would be nice if the html man pages could be installed optionaly.

opengl-man-0.ebuild

app-doc/opengl-man-0

Ebuild for opengl man pages, from SGI ftp site (5 year old tarballs, but it's
not like the standard's changed).

Uses gcc assembler to avoid imake dep.

Also installs html versions of pages to /usr/share/doc.

s/assembler/preprocessor/ (trying to grok PPC RISC asm will make you see
assembler everywhere...)

It's nice to avoid a dep and all, but I'd rather just keep the ebuild simple
and use imake.

We'll probably version this with whatever date the tarball has (20001105 or
something), and pull it in from mesa with USE=doc.

How's that sound?

opengl-man-20001215.ebuild

Sounds good. Is this OK?

Seems imake and xorg-cf-files are pretty lightweight, so no harm depending on
them.

Uh, the LICENSE is "as-is" because the license on the ftp server is similar but
not identical to SGI: no redistribution permission, and
s/SOFTWARE/DOCUMENTATION/ (though only one of 2 occurrences).

rm xorg-cf-files dep, not needed

I really wish SGI provided versioned tarballs... That bugs me a bit...

Added the package, thanks! I will add a USE=doc to mesa to pull it in once all
the arch teams keyword it.

Arch teams, please ~arch app-doc/opengl-manpages.

Added ~alpha keyword.

Added ~amd64

added ~ppc64

added ~mips

Done on hppa.

Ping for arm and ia64.  We'll also need sh and fbsd.

Done, thanks Joshua for letting me know :)

Ping arm ia64 sh

Just waiting on ia64 now ...

ia64 done, closing
