chrislea / autoconf-archive

autoconf-archive for the mysteriously abandoned one in Centos 6 EPEL. Thanks Fedora devs for removing used packages! I know it was a burden to just build and push a package of macros that doesn't change. #FAIL

Build current autoconf-archive for CentOS

This repository is derived from autoconf-archive-2012.09.08-1.el6.src.rpm

tmatsuu mysteriously removed this package, though it took ZERO effort to maintain in EPEL. Putting it here so folks can build for packages that require these macros.
