2 Downloading the GNU Autoconf Archive

The macros distributed by the Archive are maintained in a public Git repository at ‘git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf-archive.git’. That repository can be cloned anonymously, which is probably the most convenient way to access the Archive. Gitweb offers an RSS feed for subscription that informs about changes to the repository. The same information is available via e-mail, too, on the commits mailing list.

For the benefit of everyone who doesn’t use Git, traditional release archives can be downloaded from any GNU mirror, i.e. http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf-archive/. New release are always announced on the low-traffic announcements mailing list.
