 ah, there's a slight bug in ikiwiki, ok, slight odd expectation shall
i say - that should have been explicitly created with a link
[[allwinner_a10/source code]] because the page otherwise got created
top-level, giving people the impression that there is a sole, single
authoritative and exclusive source code repository for ALL SoCs that
will be involved with the project, when in fact is it not: it's only
the one for the A10.

 so i moved it to http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/

 the VM has about 5gb of space (not much more can be allocated, it's a
160gb drive with 5 other systems on it) - compressed .tgz archives and
some instructions should be ok.

 i'm a little bit concerned about the stability (DMCA takedowns, US
illegal non-sovereign domain seizures) of sites like dropbox.
xda-developers lost a ton of files and their work was massively
disrupted when megaupload was illegally terminated.
