My RFS for cc65[0][1] is still open (and seemingly stalled by its
non-free-ness), but in the mean time I thought I'd toss this one out there
as well. I've actually been using this util for over a year now, and somehow
it didn't cross my mind all that time to think about a Debian package of it.
(When I first got it, I was pretty new to Debian and wasn't even thinking
about making my own packages yet...)
Unlike cc65, this program is totally GPLed, and therefore a candidate for
main. The package includes a few ROM checksum databases, useful for auditing
a directory full of ROM images.
The version on m.d.n[2][3] (available as ucon64 and ucon64-data) is
currently version 1.9.8-4-0.1, and deliberately does not close the ITP[4].
Reason being I consider this a 'beta' Debian package until it's looked over
by others (hence the RFC). When I think it's ready to go into Debian, I'll
bump the Debian revision to -1, remove the pre-1 versions from the
changelog, and close the ITP.
Please download, comment, etc etc. :)
