[Pkg-electronics-devel] Packaging GHDL yosys plugin

[dxld at darkboxed.org]

Hi Andreas,

since the last update I've been busy getting things in order upstream since
a number of things were still broken. I've updated
https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/ghdl/ghdl/-/merge_requests/3 with
the result.

I've also moved libghdl into it's own library package so the package should
pretty much be ready for release now.

I tried to get rid of the install step into testrundir but it just wasn't
to be even with heavy patching. Mainly due to the way we append vhdl/ to
GHDL's library search path. The other isseue like you noted in debian/rules
is that the test suite leaves behind quite a bit of crud in the source
directory that's hard to clean up.

The proper solution to that one would be to make the testsuite able to run
in our builddir but I didn't have the motivation to fix this since the
library search path issue would still be a blocker.

Since the test suite was quite slow I've added and submitted another patch
to parallelize it. https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/pull/2003.
