Description Michel Samia 2007-12-04 01:40:30 UTC

Description of problem:
Package does not contain manual pages

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.0-11

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man glutInit
  
Actual results:
no manpage for glutInit

Expected results:
displaying manual page of glutInit function

Additional info:
opensuse contains it, so we can take it easily from them
(http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/opensuse/10.3/i586/freeglut-devel-060903-79.i586.html)

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2007-12-04 09:56:46 UTC

The manpages shipped by opensuse come from the original GLUT by Mark J. Kilgard,
which is under the following license:

NOTICE:  The OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) distribution contains source
code published in a book titled "Programming OpenGL for the X Window
System" (ISBN: 0-201-48359-9) published by Addison-Wesley.  The
programs and associated files contained in the distribution were
developed by Mark J. Kilgard and are Copyright 1994, 1995, 1996 by Mark
J. Kilgard (unless otherwise noted).  The programs are not in the
public domain, but they are freely distributable without licensing
fees.  These programs are provided without guarantee or warrantee
expressed or implied.

Notice that this license does not allow modification, which is not acceptable to
Fedora, therefor these pages cannot be shipped by Fedora.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2007-12-04 15:13:58 UTC

Re-opening, as discussed in a private mail the man-pages shipped with openglut
describe the same API and thus are usable, also see:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=961941&group_id=1032&atid=351032

Although upstream doesn't seem inclined to include them, there is no reason why
we cannot ship them as part of freeglut-devel, so when I find some time I'll add
this to the freeglut package:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openglut/openglut-0.6.3-doc.tar.gz

And include the manpages therein in the -devel package.

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2007-12-11 12:02:35 UTC

Tomorrow's rawhide push will contain freeglut-2.4.0-12.fc9, which fixes this,
closing.
