Take us to warp! :-) I'm excited to be at the helm, but I don't have any interest in making any big changes at first besides revisiting what is in patchworks (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/crosstool-ng/list/). I will be sending out replies to these emails/patches as I go through them to apply them to the main repository. Stay tuned... There are a few updates to the wiki to be made, among other administrivia. If you have changes to crosstool-ng to submit or any issues, the process is the same, except please send emails: TO: crossgcc at sourceware dot org CC: bryanhundven at gmail dot com and I will respond as soon as possible. Documentation will reflect this process update soon. It might take me a little bit to ramp up to actually committing changes to the repository as I get my environment setup properly. But it shouldn't take too long. Many thanks go to Yann E. MORIN, and past and future contributors. Cheers, -Bryan > Regards, > Yann E.
