Upgrading from nMigen and cannot get amaranth-boards installed

[JarrettBillingsley]

I have a little project I'm trying to get up-to-date and I've run into a weird issue. This repo is very clearly full of board definitions including the one I was using with nMigen, but when I try to install it with pip in my virtualenv, I get... nothing?

(venv) $ pip install amaranth-boards

There is a amaranth_boards-0.dist-info directory in site-packages but there is no amaranth_boards directory.

Am I missing something? I know this section of the docs is still a TODO: https://amaranth-lang.org/docs/amaranth/latest/install.html#installing-board-definitions so I don't know what else I'm missing here.

I was able to get it manually installed from the git repo:

pip install git+https://github.com/amaranth-lang/amaranth-boards.git#egg=amaranth-boards

but idk if that's what I'm supposed to do.

Yup, at the moment this is appropriate. Releasing amaranth-boards is tracked at #128.
