     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>

    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>,
