  90 <h1>Demos, GLUT, and GLU</h1>
  91
  92 <p>
  93 A package of SGI's GLU library is available
  94 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/">here</a>
  95 </p>
  96
  97 <p>
  98 A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
  99 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/">here</a>
 100 </p>
 101
 102 <p>
 103 The Mesa demos collection is available
 104 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/">here</a>
 105 </p>
 106
 107 <p>
 108 In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
 109 Mesa releases.  But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
 110 were split off into their own git repositories:
 111
 112 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/">GLUT</a>,
 113 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">GLU</a> and
 114 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos/">Demos</a>,
