Hi, thanks bartm for noticing the duplicate here. Ouch. There seems to be two completely different upstream projects claiming the 'spike' name:
https://bugs.debian.org/1122131 https://github.com/spiffe/spike https://bugs.debian.org/1040380 https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-isa-sim It would be okay by me to rename the first source package into 'golang-spike' or 'spike-go' or similar. Alternatively the other project could be renamed, to say 'spike-riscv-isa-sim'? However both appears to provide /usr/bin/spike so things will not be pleasant anyway. Reading the '1040380' bug report it says: "So you can close this bug.". While I'm not sure I agree with Jessica about the merits of the spike-riscv-isa-sim -- why not allow people to package what they want? -- there is no release since 2021, so maybe Jessica has a point here. Maybe we should really close 1040380 and allow 1122131 to use the 'spike' name for now? If there is ever progress on the riscv-isa-sim Spike in Debian, I'm sure that can be resolved later on. Any objections to me re-opening 1122131 and closing 1040380 instead? Other thoughts? /Simon
