Matt Turnerb95d5982012-08-23 16:39:20 -0700106In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
107Mesa releases. But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
108were split off into their own git repositories:
109
110<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/">GLUT</a>,
111<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">GLU</a> and
112<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos/">Demos</a>,
