Hello All! TL;DR: Starting now, Bryan Hundven is the new maintainer for crosstool-NG. In the past 9 years I've been developping and maintaining crosstool-NG, I have had the opportunity to share a lot of ideas and code with a lot of you; I even had the opportunity to meet some of you in person. That has been a wonderful adventure for me, and the first Free Software project I was really involved with. It was something very much different from my previous scarce contributions to a few other Free Software projects, and I learned a lot. But for quite some time now, I've been less and less active, to the point of not even looking at contributions. That is bad, very bad from me. If nothing else, that is at least the sign that something has broken on my side. To say it bluntly, I'm no longer as much interested in crosstool-NG as I used to be at the start. The Holy Fire is no longer but mere sparks in a stash of cold ash. This is the time I pass the torch on to someone else. Letting go of something is not easy, even more so when a lot of time was invested, like I did in crosstool-NG. I needed to find someone I would trust with crosstool-NG like I would trust him with my house. Bryan has been pretty active in crosstool-NG over the past years, and he has contributed a lot of usefull patches, answered questions on the list and overall has demonstrated a real interest about crosstool-NG and keeping it alive and well. I am thus very happy to accept his offer of helping with the maintenance of the project. I am confident he will continue to make crosstool-NG a relevant and user-friendly solution to build reliable cross toolchains. I won't completely retire for now, if at least to assist Bryan in taking over the server, and maybe I'll be better at being a simple contributor. I wish Bryan all the best for his new responsibilities as maintainer, and I want to thank him for all his contributions to the project and his patience in the past months. Thank you, Bryan! :-) I would also like to thank Dan Kegel for his astonishing work on the original crosstool, on which crosstool-NG was initially based. Last but not least, I would also like to thank all of you, contributing code, helping on the mailing list and IRC, suggesting enhancements and reporting bugs and providing feedback. I liked every part of it. :-) Bryan, you're in command now. Take us to warp! :-) Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
