+<h1>Downloading</h1>
<p>
-Mesa can be downloaded from the
-<a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d" target="_parent">
-SourceForge download area</A>.
+Primary Mesa download site:
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/"
+target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a> (FTP)
</p>
<p>
-Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code
-and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not
-interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.
+When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/beta/" target="_parent">here</a>.
</p>
+
+<h1>Unpacking</h1>
+
<p>
-Mesa is available in at least three archive formats:
+Mesa releases are available in three formats: .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, and .zip
</p>
+<p>
+To unpack .tar.gz files:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ tar zxf MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz
+</pre>
+or
+<pre>
+ gzcat MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xf -
+</pre>
+or
+<pre>
+ gunzip MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-x.y.z.tar
+</pre>
+<p>
+To unpack .tar.bz2 files:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ bunzip2 -c MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xf -
+</pre>
+<p>
+To unpack .zip files:
+</p>
<pre>
-1. GNU zip/tar
-
- Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
- Unpack with:

- or
- gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
- gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
- or
- tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
- tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
-
- If you don't have gzcat try zcat instead.
-
-2. Unix compressed/tar

+<h1>Demos, GLUT, and GLU</h1>
<p>
-Proceed to <a href="install.html">compilation and installation
-instructions</a>.
+A package of SGI's GLU library is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/" target="_parent">here</a>
</p>
-<H1>GLUT</H1>
+<p>
+A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/" target="_parent">here</a>
+</p>
<p>
-Mesa 2.5 and later includes Mark Kilgard's GLUT library (GL Utility Toolkit).
-GLUT is built automatically on systems which support it.
+The Mesa demos collection is available
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/" target="_parent">here</a>
</p>
+
<p>
-The GLUT tests, demos, examples, etc are not included, just the main library.
-To obtain the latest complete release of GLUT please visit the
-<a href="http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/glut/index.html"
-target ="_parent">GLUT homepage</a>
+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
+<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos/">Demos</a>,
