| Downloading and Unpacking |
| ========================= |
| |
| Downloading |
| ----------- |
| |
| You can download the released versions of Mesa via |
| `HTTPS <https://mesa.freedesktop.org/archive/>`__ or |
| `FTP <ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/>`__. |
| |
| Our release tarballs are GPG-signed, and the public keys are available |
| here: `release-maintainers-keys.asc <release-maintainers-keys.asc>`__. |
| |
| Starting with the first release of 2017, Mesa's version scheme is |
| year-based. Filenames are in the form ``mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz``, where ``Y`` |
| is the year (two digits), ``N`` is an incremental number (starting at 0) |
| and ``P`` is the patch number (0 for the first release, 1 for the first |
| patch after that). |
| |
| When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found in |
| the same directory, and are recognizable by the |
| ``mesa-Y.N.P-rcX.tar.gz`` filename. |
| |
| Unpacking |
| --------- |
| |
| Mesa releases are available in two formats: ``.tar.xz`` and ``.tar.gz``. |
| |
| To unpack the tarball: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.xz |
| |
| or |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz |

| Demos, GLUT, and GLU |
| -------------------- |
| |
| A package of SGI's GLU library is available |
| `here <ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/>`__ |
| |
| A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available |
| `here <ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/>`__ |
| |
| The Mesa demos collection is available |
| `here <ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/>`__ |
| |
| 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: |
| `GLUT <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut>`__, |
| `GLU <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu>`__ and |
| `Demos <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos>`__, |
