-<H2>Adding Extentions</H2>
-
-<p>
-To add a new GL extension to Mesa you have to do at least the following.
-
-<ul>
-<li>
- If glext.h doesn't define the extension, edit include/GL/gl.h and add
- code like this:
- <pre>
- #ifndef GL_EXT_the_extension_name
- #define GL_EXT_the_extension_name 1
- /* declare the new enum tokens */
- /* prototype the new functions */
- /* TYPEDEFS for the new functions */
- #endif
- </pre>
-</li>
-<li>
- In the src/mesa/glapi/ directory, add the new extension functions and
- enums to the gl_API.xml file.
- Then, a bunch of source files must be regenerated by executing the
- corresponding Python scripts.
-</li>
-<li>
- Add a new entry to the <code>gl_extensions</code> struct in mtypes.h
-</li>
-<li>
- Update the <code>extensions.c</code> file.
-</li>
-<li>
- From this point, the best way to proceed is to find another extension,
- similar to the new one, that's already implemented in Mesa and use it
- as an example.
-</li>
-<li>
- If the new extension adds new GL state, the functions in get.c, enable.c
- and attrib.c will most likely require new code.
-</li>
-</ul>
-

-
-<H2>Coding Style</H2>
-
-<p>
-Mesa's code style has changed over the years. Here's the latest.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Comment your code! It's extremely important that open-source code be
-well documented. Also, strive to write clean, easily understandable code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-3-space indentation
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you use tabs, set them to 8 columns
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Brace example:
-</p>
-<pre>
- if (condition) {
- foo;
- }
- else {
- bar;
- }
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-Here's the GNU indent command which will best approximate my preferred style:
-</p>
-<pre>
- indent -br -i3 -npcs --no-tabs infile.c -o outfile.c
-</pre>
-
-
-<p>
-Local variable name example: localVarName (no underscores)
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Constants and macros are ALL_UPPERCASE, with _ between words
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Global variables are not allowed.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Function name examples:
-</p>
-<pre>
- glFooBar() - a public GL entry point (in glapi_dispatch.c)
- _mesa_FooBar() - the internal immediate mode function
- save_FooBar() - retained mode (display list) function in dlist.c
- foo_bar() - a static (private) function
- _mesa_foo_bar() - an internal non-static Mesa function
-</pre>

-<H2>Making a New Mesa Release</H2>
-
-<p>
-These are the instructions for making a new Mesa release.
-</p>
-
-<H3>Get latest source files</H3>
-<p>
-Use git to get the latest Mesa files from the git repository, from whatever
-branch is relevant.
-</p>
-
-
-<H3>Verify and update version info</H3>
-<p>
-Create/edit the docs/relnotes-x.y.html file to document what's new in the release.
-Add the new relnotes-x.y.html file to <a href="relnotes.html">relnotes.html</a>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Update the MESA_MAJOR, MESA_MINOR and MESA_TINY version numbers in
-configs/default.
-Also update the VERSION line in the top-level Makefile.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Make sure the values in src/mesa/main/version.h are correct.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Update the docs/news.html file and docs/download.html files.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Check in all updates to git.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Tag the files with the release name (in the form <b>mesa_X_Y</b>)
-with: <code>git tag -a mesa_X_Y</code>
-Then: <code>git push origin mesa_X_Y</code>
-</p>
-
-
-<H3>Make the tarballs</H3>
-<p>
-Make a symbolic link from $(DIRECTORY) to 'Mesa'. For example,
-<code>ln -s Mesa Mesa-7.5</code>
-This is needed in order to make a correct tar file in the next step.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Make the distribution files. From inside the Mesa directory:
-<pre>
- make tarballs
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-After the tarballs are created, the md5 checksums for the files will
-be computed.
-Add them to the docs/relnotes-X.Y.html file.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Copy the distribution files to a temporary directory, unpack them,
-compile everything, and run some demos to be sure everything works.
-</p>
-
-<H3>Update the website and announce the release</H3>
-<p>
-Follow the directions on SourceForge for creating a new "release" and
-uploading the tarballs.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Basically, to upload the tarball files with:
-<br>
-<code>
-rsync -avP ssh Mesa*-X.Y.* USERNAME@frs.sourceforge.net:uploads/
-</code>
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Update the web site by copying the docs/ directory's files to
-/home/users/b/br/brianp/mesa-www/htdocs/ with:
-<br>
-<code>
-sftp USERNAME,mesa3d@web.sourceforge.net
-</code>
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Make an announcement on the mailing lists:
-<em>m</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>a</em><em>3</em><em>d</em><em>-</em><em>d</em><em>e</em><em>v</em><em>@</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>s</em><em>.</em><em>s</em><em>f</em><em>.</em><em>n</em><em>e</em><em>t</em>,
