The repository URL of the d3d12 crate on crates.io is 404

happened with the merge of #5956

Is the d3d12 crate being discontinued? If so, perhaps a disclaimer could be added to its README, and the URL updated to its last release tag (instead of trunk, where it no longer exists)?

I'll happily PR this myself, I just need to know what's going on and what should be done, since I am just getting started with the gfx-rs ecosystem

Yeah it's been discontinued, at least for the time being, now that we're using windows-rs. It might be revitalized in the future if there is a use case for it.

It would be great to add both a disclaimer and to change the link, if you PR this onto the 'v22` branch, we can publish it

[LastExceed]

Probably a stupid question, but how does publishing this work exactly? Will it be its own minor version? If so, how do we prevent the URL from immediately being outdated?

[cwfitzgerald]

We can set the url to the tag before it exists, then set the tag, and publish (publishing is still done manually)

[LastExceed]

i see. what's going to be the exact version number?

[cwfitzgerald]

22.1.1, as it's just a documention change
