https://libre-riscv.org/recentchanges/ jacob i went through this one already, symlinks and so on don't work, and the page gets converted to /fields/ which is not what is desired. the nonstandard extension gets ikiwiki to leave the file alone, thus allowing it to be downloaded unmodified.
hm. it *might* be ok. checking at 3am is a bit challenging. tomorrow.
(In reply to Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton from comment #1) > hm. it *might* be ok. checking at 3am is a bit challenging. tomorrow. I ended up with the file named fields.text and a symlink named fields.txt. I changed the download code in soc.git to name the local file fields.txt, but download through the fields.text url.
*grumble* :) ok. that's probably the bit of the puzzle i couldn't work out. thanks jacob.
oh, one annoying thing with git submodules i just discovered, jacob: you have to "git pull" in the submodule then actually commit the resultant modifications to .gitmodules if you don't it can cause conflicts during merge/rebase. just got badly caught out by that one, and couldn't recover it.
