Message-ID: <201203131001.01439.yann.morin.1998@free.fr> (raw)

Hello!

The mailing list crossgcc@sourceware.org as created a long time ago (first
post in the archives dates back to january 1997).

Initially, it was supposed to host discussions about configuring gcc for
cross-compilation, and about the 'crossgcc' project, supposedly maintained
at that time by Bill Gatliff:
    http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC  (page now dead)

In the 15 past years, many things happened, and 'crossgcc' changed
maintainership, being maintained by Dan Kegel for sometime as 'crosstool',
during the period 2003-2008 approximately:
    http://kegel.com/crosstool/

Since then, I've been maintaining the third generation of that project,
renamed as 'crosstool-NG' (due to some time-overlap with the previous
'crosstool' at the beginning):
    http://crosstool-ng.org/

Nowadays, the introduction message on the mailing list is no longer valid:
    This is the web archive of the crossgcc@sourceware.org mailing list. It
    is a list for discussing embedded ('cross') programming using the GNU
    tools.

    There is an [FAQ (Frequently Asked Files)][0] web page. The shell
    scripts and sources you'll see mentioned are [available by ftp][1].

    [0] http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC
    [1] ftp://sourceware.org/pub/crossgcc/

The mailing list is still used to discuss general use of gcc as a cross-
compiler, but the main topic is about suport and development of the current
project, crosstool-NG.

I don't know who the owner of the list is, so I would humbly ask that the
topic of the list be updated to reflect the current status, with a message
like the following:

    This is the web archive of the crossgcc@sourceware.org mailing list. It
    is a list for discussing embedded ('cross') programming using the GNU
    tools.

    [crosstool-NG][2] is a set of scripts that can help you in this endeavour.

    [2] http://crosstool-ng.org/

Thank you for your attention, and keep up the good work!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
