Hello Ludwig.
At least David is a OpenSuse Tumbleweed user. And he already showed me the possibility to build/compile Debian Packages on OpenSuse Server farm.
So, if your machine is probably to week, OpenSuse's build service is an option.
Regards, Hagen.

Debian based is enough imho. Also openSuSE is not so much used for development. Fedora and especially centos/rhel has a much smaller package wealth compared to debian or ubuntu which is based on debian. People with rpm distros could try to use the alien tool. But I will support debian and ubuntu as these are preffered by me.
Cheers

Toolchain: Hi I could maintain a repository to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libresilicon
Alternatively maybe repos can be maintained for a few selected OSes on
openSUSE build Service. I do think for example some academic environments are still based on Centos or derivatives like Scientific Linux.
greets, Staf.
so apt will find the packages this should work for debian and ubuntu and one could try to statically
link the tools if they need old stuff like motif or even older stuff that could create dependency problems as every distro is a bit different.
But the first step is to maintain a dynamically linked version of the
tools for debian stable and ubuntu lts.
This should be not too much work. No need fir a life cd. Just a howto for adding our repo to the distribution.
Regarding electric: how to host a 600M tarball of html code docunentation. Github accepts only 100M blobs. So splitting up the docu part of
electric did not help much.
If you want to code with electric git clone levush/electric read the readme on compiling and have gixygen and graphviz installed
to make the docu.
There is still a path problem in the Doxyfile as relative paths
sonehow are not working correctly.
If someone knows better please look at the different Versions of
Doxyfile in the project and improve it.
The code base is quite huge so one would need to surf the code to
understand it. Doxygen is a cool tool for analysis of code written by others.
If we want to develop with electric we need to find what should be
improved and try to understand the code to the extend needed fir this task.
Otherwhise electric sits there beeing rescued from beeing depublished
in favor of the shity java version but thats it.
Cheers
Ludwig

Hello Ludwig, Hello List.
Thanks Ludwig for your Effort to compile some tools!
I came across the fact, that the Debian family of Distributions has already compiled packages for qflow, which also includes yosys and
magic..
IMHO we should have a working tool flow, which allows us to work on our project and others to follow us.
Ludwig, do you like to setup and maintain a (Debian/Mint clone) Live-DVD with all tools already installed tools?
I would vote (at least) for
- qflow
- yosys
- magic
- klayout
- electric
- (lua)latex (while with easier UTF-8 usage!)
all in the latest and greatest version. Plus all stuff we are developing here, like
- lsc
- popcorn
- melmac
- ... etc.
Additional (in later versions) I can think about distributing nice documentations not only about the process, but also how-to, cookery books of how to make chips.
