sourceware mailing settings

[Yann E. MORIN]

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Nowadays, the introduction message on the mailing list is no longer valid: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.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've updated the mailing list control file,
and it should take effect when the archiver runs again next month.
