Bug#483021: ITP: intelhex -- converter from/to intelhex and plain text file formats

[Pedro Zorzenon Neto <pzn@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Pedro Zorzenon Neto <pzn@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I don't know if I need to write an ITP for this, but I'll do it to be
sure :-)

The package eep24c is an eeprom programmer, and only works in i386 arch
due to hardware requirements. This package comes with ihex2txt and
txt2ihex that are intelhex file format converters.

Some people need to use an intelhex converter, but are not in i386 arch,
so the converters are not available to them.

I intent to "split" eep24c package in two packages. eep24c will only
have the programmer itself. "intelhex" will have the file conversion
tools. intelhex will be in all architectures. eep24 only in i386 (and
amd64).

More details: The eep24c package will recommend intelhex. The licence of
intelhex package will be GPL (the same in eep24c). I'm the upstream
author of eep24c. I intent to do this in the next 10 days.

Thanks,
Pedro
