[Bug 2047298] Re: Building ghdl fails if LLVM and Clang versions are not provided explicitly

[Andreas Hasenack]

This has been in noble-proposed since October of last year[1]. If we fix
that now, this will trigger a mini transition because of the soname
change of libghdl. It looks like the only reverse-dependency is yosys-
plugin-ghdl, which would need rebuilding. Do we even know if it rebuilds
correctly?

Here is what I would feel more comfortable with as next steps:
- prepare a PPA, enable noble-proposed, and rebuild yosys-plugin-ghdl, making sure it uses ghdl 3 and that libghdl-3-0-0 shows up in its Depends line
- get a release team ACK for this, could be on IRC. If they ask for a formal FFe, then be it. Had this been uploaded recently to noble-proposed, I wouldn't mind, but it's been sitting there for many months now.

I might be being too cautious: another patch pilot might have a
different opinion, specially since these packages are in universe.

Title:
  Building ghdl fails if LLVM and Clang versions are not provided
  explicitly

Status in ghdl package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ghdl package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  After I install gdhl from Ubuntu command line, I check the version:

  $ sudo apt-get install ghdl

  $ ghdl --version
  GHDL 0.37 (Ubuntu 0.37+dfsg-1ubuntu1) [Dunoon edition]
   Compiled with GNAT Version: 9.3.0
   mcode code generator
  Written by Tristan Gingold.

  
  The versio seems to be 0.37, but I believe there is newer version, as I saw there is at least version 3.0.0-dev from here: 

  https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32-verilog

  Why apt-get cannot get the newer version?

  Thanks for the help in advance.
