[libre-riscv-dev] crowdsupply updates

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

https://libre-riscv.org/index/Updates/March_2020/

yehowshua i removed the update because it wasn't discussed.  the
consequences of pre-publishing an update via our own website are very
simple: Crowdsupply will not publish it at all.

therefore, publishing it via our website will be detrimental to the project.

also i specifically mentioned that Crowdsupply has over 600
subscribers that the updates go out to.

i now have to spend time working out how to revert gitolite3
repositories in order to remove the update, which will involve a force
push-master.

when i have done so please can everyone destroy their working copy of
the crowdsupply repository, re-checking-out a new one.

thanks.

ok that's done: i had to edit the bare repository master file,
refs/head/master, to get it to "listen".  this could have resulted in
corruption of the wiki.

if you have write access, please ensure that you check out a NEW copy
of the crowdsupply git repository, otherwise if you did a "git pull"
recently it will be the *wrong master* and will cause massive
problems.

please, please, don't put the contents of crowdsupply updates onto the
website.  yes create *links* to the updates (and a copy of the
summary) *when they are published*, and also, for drafts, put a
warning, " preliminary: this is a draft, being edited, NOT PUBLISHED"
message (and link to the source) but please, really, *do not* put the
actual contents on the wiki.

firstly, they're duplicates.  which one gets edited?  which is the
canonical version?

secondly, it makes crowdsupply look "unimportant"

thirdly, joshua has - a number of times - seen updates that i've
written elsewhere, and silently *not published what i wrote* on
crowdsupply, as a result.  this is perfectly reasonable of him to
decide to do.

fourthly, the website does *not* have an associated "updates mailing
list".  there's something like 600 subscribers to the crowdsupply
pre-launch campaign, and if the page goes onto the wiki, we *do not
get a notification sent out to all those people*.

On this note however, do you think its a good idea to put a link to crowd supply?

Apparently, my master is at the same commit as the master on
https://git.libre-riscv.org/?p=crowdsupply.git;a=summary so I won't need to
re-clone.
