Two types of contributions can be made to Mathemagix: purely external packages and packages which should be included and maintained into the main Mathemagix source tree. Purely external packages can typically be distributed along with a software library or scripting language. If you want to include your package inside the main Mathemagix source tree, then you should scrupulously follow a certain number of conventions.

The autotools configuration files of Mathemagix are automatically maintained via our automagix scripts, while those for cmake are produced by mmxtools.
