Simple and can be integrated within emacs sources. spice-mode is very old however was designed to use with proprietary simulators. We are currently testing and ensuring that opensource spice simulators and viewers can be used with this mode. If you are interested in putting it into emacs sources, please take our patches that we are currently preparing. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D544745 Let me know whether you are interested in adding it to the emacs sources so that after fixing spice-mode, we'll close the package review and won't push it to our repositories. Similarly, for vhdl-mode (included within emacs sources), weirdly does not support ghdl or freehdl out of the box, but only proprietary simulators. Can your vhdl-mode maintainer for emacs can fix it and put ghdl as default simulator please ? Kind regards, Chitlesh
