+gnome-autoar provides functions and widgets for GNOME applications
+which want to use archives as a method to transfer directories over
+the Internet.
+
+Creating and extracting archives is easy, safe, and automatic.
+One module is created (gnome-autoar) and three modules are modified
+(Epiphany, Evolution, Empathy). The two major steps of this project
+are:
+ * An wrapper for libarchive, GIO, and GTK+, provides GObject-based
+ C API for archives and a few common widgets.
+ * Integrate archives into applications. I try to use existing
+ widgets in applications to show archive works and user
+ preferences settings.
+
+Below variables can be used to configure the build:
+ INTROSPECTION=enabled : Build introspection support
+ GTKDOC=true : Build GTK Doc reference
+ TESTS=true : Build tests
+ VAPI=true : Build vala bindings
