Bug#316594: Still need the man pages



reopen 316594
quit

Getting the OpenGL man pages back together as a package, even the older
ones, would still be invaluable. Appears this was due to some licensing
entertainment? Apparently this got fixed? (according to Julien Cristau's
message on #316594)

Looking for information, found two more bugs that amount to this exact
same request, #330755 and #363014.

Seems Ubuntu has inherited this problem:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/35632

Yes, the information is readily available online, but typing `man
<glfunction>` gets information substantially faster than having to resort
to a search engine.


I fear an awful lot of programs in Debian (and elsewhere) seem to be
forgetting man pages are *very* handy to have.
