--=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The GNU Autoconf Archive is a collection of more than 450 macros for GNU Au= toconf that have been contributed as free software by friendly supporters of the c= ause From=20all over the Internet. Every single one of those macros can be re-us= ed without imposing any restrictions whatsoever on the licensing of the genera= ted configure script. In particular, it is possible to use all those macros in configure scripts that are meant for non-free software. This policy is unus= ual for a Free Software Foundation project. The FSF firmly believes that software o= ught to be free, and software licenses like the GPL are specifically designed to en= sure that derivative work based on free software must be free as well. In case of Autoconf, however, an exception has been made, because Autoconf is at such a pivotal position in the software development tool chain that the benefits f= rom having this tool available as widely as possible outweigh the disadvantage = that some authors may choose to use it, too, for proprietary software. Here are the compressed sources: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .gz (1.1 MB) http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .bz2 (768 KB) http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .xz (516 KB) http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .lz (515 KB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .gz.sig http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .bz2.sig http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .xz.sig http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar= .lz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 99089D72 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.13.1 Gnulib v0.0-7899-g34f8464 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2013.04.06 (2013-04-06) [stable] AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD and AX_PROG_CXX_FOR_BUILD have been simplified to require only AC_CANONICAL_HOST instead of AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM.
