ITP palbart
PALBART is a crossassembler for a DEC PDP-8. It is the basic PAL
assembler plus a few enhancements by BART to run some signs.
It would primarily be of interest to users of SIMH and any other
PDP8 emulators.
The original source code is available at:
http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/pdp8/index.html
I've already made the package for i386 and all its files are
available at :
http://www.execpc.com/~vlm/index.html
(that is not yet an apt-get accessible site)
I'm now looking for sponsorship for this package, as I am not an
Official Debian Developer.
Its my second Debian package, its lintian clean and is a pretty simple
package, single binary, no libraries, no SUID anything, just a plain
ole assembler.
Heres the license, from the source code, which I interpret as meeting
DFSG (why people feel the need to (poorly) reinvent the GPL I don't
know)
