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.
