     86 <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/" target="_parent">here</a>
     87 </p>

    100 In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
    101 Mesa releases.  But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
    102 were split off into their own git repositories:
    103 
    104 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/">GLUT</a>,
    105 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">GLU</a> and
    106 <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos/">Demos</a>,
