I'd suggest contributing to https://github.com/hdl/containers/tree/main/debian-bullseye. https://hdl.github.io/containers/dev/Contributing.html#single-file-example or https://hdl.github.io/containers/dev/Contributing.html#example-with-hdlc-script can be used as a reference. See also https://hdl.github.io/containers/dev/Contributing.html#step-by-step-checklist. The target architectures to build the containers for are defined in https://github.com/hdl/containers/blob/main/utils/pyHDLC/config.yml#L128-L143. I...

I think that no error should be shown due to missing files or patterns without match. A warning should be enough in both cases. Errors should be produced if any...

FTR, if using Python is acceptable, rust_hdl might be supported as a backend of [pyVHDLModel](https://github.com/vhdl/pyVHDLModel), which would allow sharing higher abstraction implementations (such as this PR) in a way agnostic...

> isn't pyVHDLModel basically just a VHDL AST in Python? rust_hdl already has that. Being able to convert it to Python in a standardized way would be nice though. @bradleyharden,...

@kraigher, why not add them as git submodules? Then, you would choose to retrieve them with option `--recursive` to git clone.

VUnit VCIs do use protected types already. The default in VUnit is to use VHDL 2008. VHDL 1993 is supported, but most of the advanced features do require VHDL 2008....

> There are no complicated types. VHDL-93 is sufficient Is this a sensible requirement? Both OSVVM and VUnit do require VHDL 2008 for the intermediate and advanced HDL features. If...

@JimLewis, why is counting required in order to handle printing messages to screen and/or to files? I believe this is unrelated to VCs, and it's not meant to replace the...

@LarsAsplund, agree, word by word.
