Please include the word 'glxinfo' in the package description, since that is what most users install this package for.

Having it in the description would make it possible for new users to find this package via "pacman -Ss glxinfo". Currently, it is pretty hard to discover.

I'd suggest to change it like follows:

current:
pkgdesc="Mesa demos and tools"

new:
pkgdesc="Mesa demos and tools (glxinfo, glxgears, ...)"

Still short enough I think.
('glxgears' seems popular too, so may as well include it, although it's not as important.)
This task depends upon

Sorry, forgot to add the name of the package this report is for: [mesa-demos]
Can an admin edit the title and add it?

pkgfile is your friend.

$ pkgfile glxinfo
extra/mesa-demos

When you search our wiki for "glxinfo" there're more than enough hints what pkg to install.
