Dear Maintainer,

upstream ghdl provides a python interface to ghdl called pyGHDL and a
VHDL language server called ghdl-ls.

I think that a VHDL language server could be very beneficial to users
who write VHDL-code on Debian and would love to see ghdl-ls be in Debian.

(I'm not entirely sure, if I should have filed a RFP bug against wnpp
instead of this bug. I apologize in advance if that would've been the
proper procedure.)

Thanks for maintaining ghdl

Marcel

This request is related to a bug reported for libghdl.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1103550

As a workaround, pyGHDL and ghdl-ls can be installed via PIP using a
latest wheel from GHDLs nightly builds:

Kind regards
    Patrick Lehmann

Control: retitle -1 RFP: ghdl-ls -- language server for GHDL
Control: reassign -1 wnpp
This is a WNPP issue, reassigning.
Should be straighforward to package.

best,

The source package ghdl is already packaged, so it needs to be handled
through ghdl's packaging (where the Python part is disabled right now).

Adding pyGHDL to the Debian packaging requires two Python modules that
are not yet packaged in Debian. I have filed RFP bugs for them and will
look into adding the pyGHDL packages once someone adds the modules to
Debian.
