crosstool-ng/docs/CREDITS
Yann E. MORIN" 3c351b899d docs: update credtis, point to the repository log
The docs/CREDITS file dates back to the SVN repository.
Now that we use Mercurial, the repository stores appropriate
authorship for each commit. Say so in the CREDITS.

I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:
Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
original work by Dan.
And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:
Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his
MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.

20100530: Status of this file
It's been about a year now that we've moved the repository to Mercurial.
The repository now has proper authorship for each changeset, and this is
used to build the changelog at each release. This file will probably no
longer be updated, and is here to credit people prior to the Mercurial
migration, or for people discussing ideas or otherwise helping without
code.
If you think you deserve being cited in this file, do yell at me! ;-)
