- Ubuntu native packaging purposes.
+ Support more closely the FHS layout. If installed under /usr :
Configuration files goes in : /etc/alliance
Cells goes in : /usr/share/alliance/cells
General doc goes in : /usr/share/doc/alliance
Examples goes in : /usr/share/doc/alliance/examples
Tutorials goes in : /usr/share/doc/alliance/tutorials
Environment scripts (alc_env.*) have been updateds accordingly.
Note: In the case of a FHS installation, the task of moving the
configuration files, cells library, documentations & examples
remains to the packager. This has been done for Ubuntu.
It was more efficient to move files *after* they have been
installed by autohell in one strike than for each Alliance tool.
+ Change: In MIPS/asm rename *.ext.orig files into *-orig.ext file to
avoid confusing the Debian automatic patch system (quilt).
- Minor bugs fix (seems to shows only under recent Ubuntu for now).
+ Bug: In OCP, missing include <string.h> in various files.
+ Bug: In expy, bvl, missing include of the "y.tab.h" in the parser file.
+ Bug: In sea, duplicated lineno declaration in DEF parser.
- Cells, for compliance with the Coriolis2 router Kite.
+ Change: In ramlib, obstacles must not overlap terminals.
+ Change: In pxlib, to prevent Kite from routing over the pads, add a
"barrier" of blockages that leaves only one notch for the incomming
terminals.
In clock pads, output terminals of cko where no longer connected
to the output of transistors (how can that happens??), reconnecteds now.
the pads themselves. Only keep a straigth access channel to terminals.
Correct a disconnexion in the clock pads (cko terminal *not* connecteds
to transistors!)
- New feature : explicit selection of nets to route.
- Patch for gcc 4.3 (from Thibault North).
- Bug correction from G. Petley on "yoffset" in mbksave.
Basically : you cannot uses ABL_ARITY_L() macro with the '--'
(postfixed decrement) because a pointer is unsigned and crossing
zero seems to produce strange results in our case.
- It seems that the new DEF format (rev. 5.4) no longer repeats the
default VIAs. So we have to load them by hand directly inside the
parser.
* sea/src/util_Floorplan.c :
- Uses "aluX" instead of "l_aluX" for SE grid references.
