Would iverilog be nice to have? Definitely yes. Should its presence at the same time with OVM be mandatory ? Absolutely not. Users might be using EDA software from other sources. Actually I bet that 99% percent of them are using commercial tools and I also bet that in an enterprise environment they always will. <small rant on> In the company I work for we use several commercial EDA tools. Since July 2008 the number of engineers interacting with OVM increased from 2 to 25 and their number will increase in the future [, depending on the projects that end / new projects that start]. How would not the presence of OVM in a repository enhance these users' experience ? As sysadmin I would definitely have preferred to do "yum install ovm.el4" instead of "tar xzf ovm-2.0.tar.gz" For what it's worth and completely unrelated, we have a very small team of courageous people who use gtkwave from EPEL when the number of licenses for the commercial tool is insufficient. <rant off> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
