errata process

[wmat]

I have yet to see the errata process documented in the RISC-V Specifications Repos chapter followed. Do we need to re-address this process and/or begin enforcing it?

Where is that policy document?

It's 13.2.3 RISC-V Specificaions Repos

Ah,, now I understand what you're saying. You're saying that no one follows this statement:

• Each ISA specification repo must contain an errata folder.
  • The folder must contain text files which detail the errata and include the date the errata was first
    documented.
• If any errata are resolved in a future commit, do not remove the errata. Mark it as fixed and give the
  SHA of the commit where the errata was addressed.

Is that it?

I do agree we haven't done that.

So, part of what we'll need to do is clean up the policies with areas which need to either be updated, removed, etc. So, this is a a good issue to keep. Please make sure we put all text and full reference in here when we re-visit in the coming months.
