Building the XWin X server requires a machine-readable description of the OpenGL interface, in order to generate wrapper code.
Currently, these files are directly fetched during the build, but this causes certain problems (e.g. [1]), so X server 1.11 will change to looking for a package containing these files, at which time this package will become a build-time dependency of the X server. The files this package contains are available from http://www.opengl.org/registry/, and licensed under the SGI Free Software B License Version 2.0 (which is identical to the X11 license) This package isn't needed and doesn't exist in Linux distributions, so votes are required. Proposed setup.hint: category: X11 requires: sdesc: "Khronos OpenGL registry databases" ldesc: "Khronos Group OpenGL Registry databases defining the APIs and reserved enumerant ranges for OpenGL, GLX, and WGL."
