README

Macaulay2 is a system for computing in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry
and related fields.  The system was originally written by Dan Grayson and Mike
Stillman.  David Eisenbud joined the project a number of years ago, and many
users are writing packages for the system, and some are contributing source
code.

This repository contains the source code for Macaulay2, and is intended to be
checked out by developers of Macaulay2.  The subdirectory "M2" contains
everything needed by a user to build Macaulay2.  The subdirectory "bugs" is
where we keep track of bugs and new features.
