Libre-SOC needs upstreaming in order to be accepted as part of LibreBMC.
however, Libre-SOC (as a Libre Project) does not use repositories that
fail the GNU Ethical Hosting Criteria with an "F" Grade:
https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.en.html

as a workaround, someone needs to use a private (personal) github
account whilst the anomalous issues of participation in LibreBMC
criticaly depending on "F" (Fail) Grade Hosting are resolved.

modules are auto-created at litex-hub, with a script, by way of
adding them to modules.ini

* TODO https://github.com/litex-hub/pythondata-auto/blob/master/modules.ini
* TODO https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=litex.git;a=summary
* TODO create branches containing patches to litex
* TODO submit "pull" request

I'll need to know which repos to submit pull requests against, since I think I have to fork the upstream repo instead of just creating a new repo in order for github to let me create pull requests (iirc github doesn't support creating pull requests from unrelated repos).

mirrored our litex repo at https://github.com/kazan-3d/litex
pull request not created since I didn't see any commits that aren't yet upstream.

for https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=pythondata-cpu-libresoc.git;a=summary do you want me to just mirror to kazan-3d on github as a new repo, or is there some github upstream I don't know about that I'll need to fork?

where's the repo I should use as the source for mirroring pythondata-auto to github? I didn't see it on git.libre-soc.org...
forked it at https://github.com/kazan-3d/pythondata-auto
