Bug#1068174: yosys: Please package the latest upstream release

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

Package: yosys
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkk at spth.de

Dear Maintainer,

I use yosys to synthesize for the iCE40UP and GateMate FPGAs. IMO, the current
upstream release 0.38 has substantial improvements over the 0.33 release
currently in Debian. In particular, I use the improved support for abc9 and
SystemVerilog. I currently have upstream yosys installed, but it would be nice
to be able to just use the Debian package instead.

Regards,

Philipp
