[Bug 1683285] Re: New version freeglut 3.0.0

[Jeremy Bicha]

"yade compiled fine, but
crashed just after the start. It means that each package should
not only be recompiled but also started to be sure we don`t break
many installations."

Are you interested in doing that? If not, it might be best to just wait
until Debian is ready to make that transition.

Title:
  New version freeglut 3.0.0

Status in freeglut package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in freeglut package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Hello!

  New version of freeglut has been released two years ago (!). I
  prepared a patch to update the package. Could you review it and upload
  the new version?

  I'm attaching patch to debian folder. You have to download and unpack
  the new upstream version via uscan or from official web-site. I did it
  to reduce file size.

  I already sent my patch to Debian, but there is no reaction on it.
  Debian Maintainer told that there were some problems with
  dependencies[1], but unfortunately he didn't indicate what
  dependencies were.

  But in spite of that, I hope it's possible to upload the new package
  to Ubuntu 17.10.
