It is the successor to arachne-pnr, which is no longer maintained. Including nextpnr in Debian will allow current users of yosys and fpga-icestorm to make use of the latest development on the YosysHQ FPGA toolchain for Lattice iCE40 FPGAs. This initial packaging effort will create three binary packages: - nextpnr-generic - nextpnr-ice40 - nextpnr-ice40-qt These binary packages span two different FPGA architectures (a generic target and Lattice iCE40 FPGAs) and a version for iCE40 FPGAs which features a Qt GUI. Since nextpnr can be extended to support additional FPGA architectures (unlike its predecessor arachne-pnr), future work can extend this initial effort to support FPGA architectures like Lattice ECP5 and Xilinx 7-Series FPGAs using Project Trellis and Project X-Ray. Keith Packard has offered to sponsor the upload. Ongoing packaging effort is taking place on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/nategraff-guest/nextpnr
