Hello, Not sure where to ask so maybe somebody here knows. Is https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org still maintained as the de facto platform documents archive? It's rather out of date but still about the best collection for those, at least that I am aware of. Assuming so, there are a few docs that I'd like to request mirrored as they are either in danger of going away, or the version on refspecs is rather outdated: * The most recent (to my knowledge) ABI for 32-bit PowerPC https://example61560.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/powerpc_abi.pdf. Source is still around at <https://github.com/ryanarn/powerabi> but isn't trivial to build. refspecs does have a version of this but it is from 1994. * The PPC64 ELFv2 spec https://openpower.foundation/specifications/64bitelfabi/ (ELFv1 is already on refspecs) * Various MIPS ABI docs https://web.archive.org/web/20180823071624/https://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/ * C-SKY ABI https://github.com/c-sky/csky-doc/tree/master * The 2002 sysz spec could be updated to https://ibm.github.io/s390x-abi/lzsabi_s390x.pdf Would also be nice if https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/elf/ and https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/ELF/ could be merged rather than having case-sensitive links. A root index would be useful too. Thanks, Trevor
