Who to contact about libdrm and helping with man pages.

#1 Post by vinnie »

Hi

I've been playing with libdrm and I've notice it has a significant lack of documentation. I'd like to contribute to the documentation for it, but from googling I simply not sure who to contact about either libdrm or about writing man pages for it. I.e.
Is this right, if not, can someone please point me in the right direction?

EDIT - Fixed the subject line.

Hi
Last update was 3 years ago.

You may contact the maintainers at:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libdrm-amdgpu1

Something looks to be rolling here:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/
ThinkPad E14: Arch, Debian Stable
GUI: Xfce

For new: Try MX Linux, Linux Mint; later join Debian Stable

(but not installed because that's a non-gui system.

anyhow, the installed version comes with plenty man pages:
