Technically, I am following the same convention that Yann E. MORIN did his tags, so âs/Bryan/Yann/gâ, but you are correct.
On the other hand, the archive release that github has does not have bootstrap ran, and is not GPG signed, therefore I recommend getting the archive from the crosstool-ng.org link insteadâ as Iâve already mentioned.
