Hi everyone,<br><br>I was wondering if anyone is working on improving the OpenGL package. As the git repository [1] on github looks rather quiet, beside my (Laar, not my real name) casual editing. In that process of adding extra functions to improve the library to some higher version of OpenGL I ran into some structural inconveniences. But as I&#39;m not that experienced with Haskell nor with collaborating in open source projects.<br>
<br>The major problem in my opinion is the boat load of deprecated functions and objects that make finding and having an overview of the code rather difficult. This is not helped by the fact that there are a lot of files that could be marked as deprecated. Therefore I think that something more serious should be done than only adding deprecated pragma&#39;s as Jason Dagit suggests in [2]. I think it should improve the overview of the code if all deprecated functions/code/etc. are move to a different namespace, say ...OpenGL.GL.Deprecated. This would help a lot as with coding new stuff the files would be quite a bit smaller as you wouldn&#39;t  see the deprecated stuff. Though this will probably be quite a hard break with older code. Though quite a lot of code to refactor I think it would lead to a better structured project that is easier to maintain.<br>
<br>Furthermore in it&#39;s current state importing ...OpenGL.GL does import everything, whether it&#39;s deprecated, usefull or even only usable for higher versions of OpenGL-contexts than you use. Although the exported functions/Types wouldn&#39;t lead to clashes it would be nice to have modules that only export the stuff that is usable for a certain OpenGL-context (e.g. importing ...Core31 or ...Core31Compatibility). This would lead to a compile error when using unsupported functions, which is a lot more pleasant than having to debug why code doesn&#39;t work (talking from experience). And if the future brings better auto-complete for Haskell it might lead to better suggestions (all the unused stuff out).<br>
