MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for glu-git [2]: This abandoned VCS package can be deleted. Mesa glu has not seen any development in the last 2 years, and it is likely that it won't get picked up later, but become deprecated. Also the pkgver() here is non-monotonic: minor point releases won't be seen by automated tools as being newer. Arch extra repo still carries the latest stable version.
