I also think that separating the demos/tests is a sensible thing to do. One doesn't (re)build tests as often as the rest of the drivers, and GL, GL ES, VG, are all stable interfaces. > So, I've made a branch in my Mesa repository for a split of the progs/ > From Mesa. > > git://people.freedesktop.org/~anholt/mesa on the mesa-demos branch > > Open issues: > > Right now they don't install in general, but it would be easy to change > if people are interested in a package that does.

Yes, all subdirs inside progs/gallium essentially have tests for gallium interfaces, so its contents should move to src/gallium/tests . > None of the GLEW or GLUT is brought along with the apps.
