1.13 +I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:
1.14 +
1.15 + Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
1.16 + Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
1.17 + I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
1.18 + Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
1.19 + original work by Dan.
1.20 +
1.21 +And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:
1.22 +
1.23 + Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
1.24 + Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his
1.25 + MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.
1.26 +

1.80 +20100530: Status of this file
1.81 +
1.82 +It's been about a year now that we've moved the repository to Mercurial.
1.83 +The repository now has proper authorship for each changeset, and this is
1.84 +used to build the changelog at each release. This file will probably no
1.85 +longer be updated, and is here to credit people prior to the Mercurial
1.86 +migration, or for people discussing ideas or otherwise helping without
1.87 +code.
1.88 +
1.89 +If you think you deserve being cited in this file, do yell at me! ;-)
