Re: [gem5-dev] gem5 19.0.0 : New git branching proposal

[gem5-dev] Bug on page http://gem5.org/Download

2019-11-19 Thread Vince Harron
On the page http://gem5.org/Download

The link "[FS cheat scripts] " points to

https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat%7Cgem5

Which returns 404.

I think the correct link is

https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat

I'm not sure where this lives in source control or I would upload a patch
myself.

Thanks,

Vince
