OpenGL Man Pages for Ubuntu October 28th, 2009

Looking for an OpenGL documentation for package in Ubuntu? To begin, what would the package be named? My instincts told me to try gl-doc, libgl-doc, and eventually moved into the territory of libmesa or xorg. Obviously none of these worked. Out of despiration I tried dpkg -l | grep gl | grep doc, and there was nothing.

In the past I’ve used the online GL documentation without any real problem, but I knew I was going to be sitting in a room without internet access for a while. Besides, I want to just type man glBegin, or use yelp. Luckily a nice guy repackage the GL man pages back in 2006, and it appears has been keeping up with them all along.
