Various people have provided help and support over the life time of ARMedslack's development. Big thanks to: - Patrick Volkerding * For Slackware * Explaining the undocumented Slackware mysteries * Answering my many questions about Slackware - Peter Naulls * Giving Advice, guidance and support for ARM Linux * Writing the RapIDE driver, fixing other Kernel stuff * Asking me how ARMedslack was coming along; embarassing me into doing some work * Letting me use his NetWinder and Iyonix to build and test some of my early cross-compiled ARM binaries. * Fixing !LinLoader (RISC OS Linux Loader) to work on the RiscPC * Having a dog that doesn't set my asthma off ;-) - The Scratchbox team (lle, thain et al) (http://www.scratchbox.org) * Without Scratchbox, ARMedslack probably would have never happened. Scratchbox enabled me to cross-compile the base Slackware system on my x86 Slackware system. - Jim Hawkins * Answering ARM specific questions * Patching software to build with gcc 3.4 * Submitting a patch to qemu to enable it to build gcc 3.4. Without this I could not have built the first ARMedslack gcc-3.4 package build that enabled me to build natively (and to have a working gcc package!) * Answering the most ridiculous and stupid questions known to mankind with "Oh Stuart. " * Fixing almost *anything* that doesn't work, and having no idea what he's fixing or why, but always making it work. * The unsurmountable things he'll do in the future. - Darren Austin * Suggestions for the cross-platform build system * Suggestions for slacktrack (my package build script with which some of ARMedslack's packages are built) - Debian ARM developers, Russell King and the other ARM developers: * For their ARM patches upstream. Without much of the work from the Debian developers, ARMedslack simply would not be possible! - Mark Post [Slack390] * For answering some of my Slackware questions * Slack390's source tree - some of ARMedslack's scripts are based on Slack390's or use bits from them. - Mario Stabrey (Orlan) [Alphaslack] * For both finding & creating gcc/glibc-2.3.x patches and providing a convenient source from which I could steal them :-) - Peter Teichmann * Kernel patches; X.org patches; other patches; config files.. - Timothy Baldwin * Porting GRUB to RISC OS; updating the infozip patch for RISC OS file types; Kernel patches - Alan Hourihane * Patching GRUB to work with machines with >128M RAM * Patching away some Kernel & X.org problems * Various other help - Sunil Amitkumar Janki * Building the first modular X.org packages * Various suggestions and help Thanks! -- Stuart Winter 20-Apr-2009
