Description Denis Kaganovich 2010-10-18 10:27:00 UTC

Packages depends from media-libs/freeglut, but virtual/glut exists.

Really other glut implementation may be used (I use mesa), IMHO virtual/glut exists for this reason. Time ago I not found this problem, then IMHO this is new. Why?

PS Yes, I know, mesa's glut may be dirty copyrated... But this is other subject.

Reproducible: Always

virtual/glut is about to be removed from tree, use media-libs/freeglut.
according to our x11 maintainers, mesa's glut is a mess and won't be supported at this time.
