 = problem =

 dgc_gui.c in Digital Gate Compiler (DGC) uses old GTK+ API.

 = analysis =

 dgc_gui.c in Digital Gate Compiler (dgc-0.98) doesn't compile cleanly.

 = enhancement recommendation =

 Anyone interested in GTK+, C programming can re-write the GUI from
 scratch.

After discussion with Chitlesh, I have created a new Component type
called "Starter task". We will use this type for tasks that people who
are new to Fedora packaging or are interested in getting started with
FEL can work with. These tickets will not affect our FEL release
cycle, but, are meant to give a helping hand for people wanting to
help out with packaging for FEL.

This particular task involves GTK+ C GUI programming. If anyone is
interested, please write to me.

Hello Shakthi,
can you claim ownership of the dgc space on sourceforge ?

Also, "herb" is trying to be a better "alliance". Is it feasible to
migrate the dgc sources to herb design flow?
I think it would be a great win-only situation if "herb" can obsolete
both dgc and alliance.

Mukund (in CC;) is the prime developer behind Herb.
Mukund, what do you think ?

DGC seems to be similar to SIS and Alliance's BOOG tool.  I'll take a
look at its sources in more detail. For Herb, we'd be using a simple
mapper to begin with.

Also, if you are looking to add more VLSI tools into FEL, you should
look at packaging the alternative Berkeley flow too.  I think some
tools such as Timberwolf are not available in Fedora yet.

Last time, I've checked they had some licensing issues with their
redistribution. I have to sit down again and read the licenses again.

Hello Mukund,

Since herb is trying to be a better Alliance, I wish to propose the new features

 * support for Liberty file format
http://www.opensourceliberty.org/
 * support for Synopsys Design Constraint format
 * improved reports : report_timing, report_cells, report_area

These will create easy path for new users and interoperability. Also
it will help to maintain new standard cells libraries.
Xcircuit(+magic) and ngspice/gnucap are being enhanced in that
direction. It would be nice to have users' characterized cells being
used in herb.

thank you,
chitlesh

Tobias Dichti is currently the owner of the project, and he replied
that he is going to add "extended burst mode synthesis" support for
DGC next year. So, I will keep track of the upstream changes as he
updates it.

IMO, we should make all tools available in FEL. Let the users decide
which ones to use depending on their requirements.

Hello Shakthi,

Should we create a new "milestone" "Starter task" instead of a
"component" ? The component is a sub-dependency of the milestone. If
these tickets will not affect our FEL 13 release cycle I would think
of a new milestone.

Actually, I think you opted for the right strategy. Let i as it is.

I have created a new milestone : upstream. I have found a couple of
old features of some tools that needs to be revisited by upstream.
This upstream milestone can help us track those issues.
