Synopsis

The Autoconf Archive is a collection of more than 500 freely re-usable Autoconf macros. These macros have been contributed by friendly supporters of the cause from all over the Internet.

How To Contribute

Please post to the patch tracker to submit a macro for inclusion in the archive. Your submission should contain:

• synopsis that shows how the macro must be be called,
• brief description of the macro's purpose,
• list of authors (optionally with e-mail addresses),
• licensing terms, and
• m4 source code.

Macros can be submitted under any GPL-compatible free software license. The Free Software Foundation, however, recommends use of the all-permissive license for Autoconf macros.

Migration to Savannah

The Autoconf Archive is now hosted on Savannah. Previously cloned Git repositories can be migrated to the new location by updating the settings for "origin" and "master":

git config remote.origin.url 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf-archive.git'
git config remote.origin.fetch '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'

git config branch.master.remote origin
git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

Now, run git pull to update the master branch.
