  88 <h1>Demos, GLUT, and GLU</h1>
  89
  90 <p>
  91 A package of SGI's GLU library is available
  92 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/">here</a>
  93 </p>
  94
  95 <p>
  96 A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
  97 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/">here</a>
  98 </p>
  99
 100 <p>
 101 The Mesa demos collection is available
 102 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/">here</a>
 103 </p>
 104
 105 <p>
 106 In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
 107 Mesa releases.  But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
 108 were 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>,
