This uses the previously added scripts to convert the documentation to reStructuredText, which is both easier to read offline, and can be used to generate modern HTML for online documentation. No modification to the generated results have been done. Acked-by: Eric Engestrom <eric@engestrom.ch> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/4630>

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/>`__.
|
|
|
|
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 recognisable 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:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.xz
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz
|
|
|

Proceed to the `compilation and installation
|
|
instructions <install.html>`__.

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>`__,
