    1.12 +
    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 +

    1.75 +
    1.76 +Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I

    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! ;-)
