Package: ivi Severity: normal There is a new eclipse-based ivi available upstream. It would be great if the ivi package in Debian could move to that. However, there are a few important concerns:
1) Eclipse is currently in contrib, while ivi is currently in main. If possible, I would like to keep ivi in main. There have been reports of eclipse working correctly with free JVMs, like kaffe. As soon as there is a Free way of getting this new version of ivi in main, I will go for it. 2) The new eclipse-based ivi does not support Icarus Verilog (Debian package verilog) or GHDL (Debian package ghdl), but only supports Cver Verilog (which is, I believe DFSG free, but not packaged in Debian). Support for the other two is in the upstream's plan but is not yet there. This is mostly just a transitional issue, and isn't quite so bad, since the current ivi is broken with respect to GHDL > 0.13 anyway. Anyway, in the interim, it's unlikely that many other bugs in the current ivi will be fixed unless they are packaging-related, include patches, or are minor enough that I can fix them myself in a limited amount of time. Hopefully we will be able to move to the new ivi upstream version in the "near" future. =) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
