I didn't look into the upstream code that you are talking about, so I cannot tell, so I leave the evaluation to you. If the patch seems easy to write AND maintain in the long run, the it is probably the least time consuming task for you, rather than maintaining another package that potentially will also need bugfix and updates. Best would be if you could convince cocotb upstream to accept your patch. It may work if you explain clearly why you need this patch. Hoping this helps, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

I've got another issue, that is cocotb requires find_libppython module, which is used to find libpython on the system, so should I package find_libpython, which doesn't seem to be needed on Debian, just for the sake of cocotb ? Or should I just patch cocotb and put some simplified code (tailored for Debian) that finds path to libpython ? -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyIDs: 4096R/A7EF5671 2048R/EDDDA1B7 GPG Fingerprints: 6E2E E4BB 72E2 F417 D066 6ABF 7B30 B496 A7EF 5761 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
