No release

[mgerhardy]

even if this is not a real issue in terms of a bug. It would be great to get a release on github. If there is not tag (even if it is alpha1) - vogl will not get included in any linux distribution. There is at least an arch packager waiting for a tag to get it into arch ;)

vogl was packaged in NixOS unstable (Nixpkgs master branch): NixOS/nixpkgs#24002

Even if OpenGL is so yesterday, this still can be useful.

What does Nixpkgs packaging mean?

It means the packaged program can be reliably, reproducibly run on any Linux distribution, thanks to the http://nixos.org/nix/ package manager. Yes, there are caveats, like NixOS/nixpkgs#9415, but there are solutions, like https://github.com/deepfire/nix-install-vendor-gl .

For instance, I have tested vogl on both NixOS and SteamOS.

IMO, Valve should really consider acquiring experience with this technology, since it has significant potential to change how software is developed and deployed -- it's a bigger idea than Docker.

And it's been in production use for years.
