Resending because I forgot to include ITP links.

Hello,

I am currently working on packages for cocotb [1] & pyuvm [2], both
are Python packages, that are used for verification (simulation) of
VHDL/*Verilog models, ie. their scope is electronics. Do I am
wondering whether to package them under Electeonics team or Python
team.

Also, I've set the Section source control field to 'electronics', yet
lintian complained that since the binary package names are
python3-{cocotb/pyuvm}, then the section should be 'python'. Should I
ignore/override that ? Or should I modifybthe Section field to
'python' ?

Thanks

Hi Ahmed,

2023-07-23 02:04 CEST, أحمد المحمودي:

I am currently working on packages for cocotb [1] & pyuvm [2], both
are Python packages, that are used for verification (simulation) of
VHDL/*Verilog models, ie. their scope is electronics. Do I am
wondering whether to package them under Electeonics team or Python
team.

For choosing the team, it depends on which expertise you want the team
which holds the package to have. For pure Python software, I would say
that the expertise of the Debian Python Team is more useful.

Also, I've set the Section source control field to 'electronics', yet
lintian complained that since the binary package names are
python3-{cocotb/pyuvm}, then the section should be 'python'. Should I
ignore/override that ? Or should I modifybthe Section field to
'python' ?

From my quick look at cocotb’s documentation [3], it seems to ship at

least one binary in $PATH named `cocotb-config`. Here is how it could be packaged:

- `cocotb` srcpkg in `electronics` section;
- `python3-cocotb` binpkg in `python` section, containing the library;
- `cocotb` binpkg in `electronics` section, Depends on `python3-cocotb`
and contains the executables.

Same advice would apply for pyuvm, which I did not look at.

Well, I am reluctant to separate the python module from the binary, as
the python module doesn't seem to be useful without the binary.

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 ?
