Bug#237378: ITP: freeglut -- OpenGL Utility Toolkit
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : freeglut
Version : 2.2.0
Upstream Author : Pawel W. Olszta <olszta@sourceforge.net>

Description : OpenGL Utility Toolkit
GLUT (as in ``gluttony'') is a window system independent toolkit for
writing OpenGL programs. It implements a simple windowing API, which
makes life considerably easier when learning about and exploring OpenGL
programming.
.
GLUT is designed for constructing small to medium sized OpenGL programs,
however it is not a full-featured toolkit, so large applications requiring
sophisticated user interfaces are better off using native window system
toolkits like GTK or Motif.
I've had several requests in private mail to package this, and I think
it'll be a welcome change to have an active upstream. It'll be my plan to
replace the old semi-free glut with this package.
