Great news indeed! Thanks for your hard work guys! Joris, I've installed your package (on my laptop running debian unstable) and sucessfully simulated two smallish designs of mine. I'd be amazing if we could get GHDL back in debian before the freeze but I'm not putting my hopes too high. I haven't tried to rebuild your package yet, just had a quick glimpse over some of your files. For now, two minor comments: - debian/control: Please add a mention about partial support of VHDL 2008 to the long description; - debian/README.source: I'm confused by the beginning... Rephrasing might help there. -Pascal -- Homepage (http://organact.mine.nu) Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org) COMunité/LACIME: École de technologie supérieure (http://www.comunite.ca) ISIP Laboratory: McGill (http://www.isip.ece.mcgill.ca) _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
