+<h1>Unpacking</h1>
<p>
-Mesa is distributed in several parts:
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
- and documentation.
-</li>
-<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
- Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
- <a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut.html"
- target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
- <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or
- <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">OpenGLUT</a>).
-</li>
-<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
- with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
-package.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
-Other organizations might offer additional package formats.
+Mesa releases are available in three formats: .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, and .zip

+A package of SGI's GLU library is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/">here</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available

+In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
+Mesa releases. But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
+were split off into their own git repositories:
+
+<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/">GLUT</a>,
+<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">GLU</a> and
