fastsandpm 0.2.0

FastSandPM is a a package management and dependency resolution tool for HDL Design and DV projects

FastSandPM

An RTL Design and DV package manager for python tools. Manage your RTL and design verification library dependencies by cloning, updating, and version-controlling git repositories.

See Read-The-Docs for details

Key Features

• Library Management: Clone and update RTL/DV libraries from git repositories
• Version Pinning: Pin libraries to specific tags, branches, or commits
• Version Ranges: Specify flexible version constraints (e.g., >=1.0.0,<2.0.0)
• TOML Configuration: Organize libraries in configuration files with sub-headings
• Local Development: Symlink local directories for development workflows
• Multi-Remote Support: Automatically discover repositories across configured remotes

Quick Start

Installation:

# For UV Based projects
uv add fastsandpm

# For pip-based projects
pip install fastsandpm

Command Line Usage

The simplest way to use FastSandPM is via the fspm command:

# Install dependencies from proj.toml in current or parent directory
fspm

# Install from a specific manifest file
fspm --manifest /path/to/proj.toml

# Install to a custom output directory
fspm --output ./vendor

# Install with optional dependency groups
fspm --optional dev,test

# Clean conflicting directories during installation
fspm --clean

CLI Options

Option	Description
-m, --manifest PATH	Path to manifest file or directory (default: search up tree for proj.toml)
-o, --output PATH	Output directory for installed libraries (default: ./lib)
-c, --clean	Clean conflicting directories during installation
--no-clean	Don't clean conflicting directories (default)
--optional GROUPS	Comma-separated list of optional dependency groups
-v, --verbose	Increase verbosity (can stack: -v, -vv, -vvv)
-q, --quiet	Suppress all output except errors
-V, --version	Show version and exit

Python API Usage

import pathlib
import fastsandpm

# Load a manifest
manifest = fastsandpm.get_manifest("./my-project")
print(manifest.package.name)
# 'my-package'

# Resolve dependencies
resolved = fastsandpm.dependencies.resolve(manifest)

# Build the library
fastsandpm.build_library(resolved, pathlib.Path("my-library"))

This will bring in the library dependencies for a project into the specified directory. Additionally, a library.f file will be created which will point to the dependencies file list in the required order.
