Bug#510408: ITP: biew -- console hex viewer/editor with disassembler
biew has recently changed name to beye, new URL is
http://beye.sourceforge.net
The project looks like maintained and under active development.
Bug #460636 mentioned 3 reasons to remove biew from Debian:
"This package still depends on debmake, hasn't seen an update in a
REALLY REALLY long time and has no relevant number of users. Please kick it
out."
Now it seems that two of these reasons aren't true anymore (there is no
package so it can't depend on debmake, and now there are upstream updates
available) and the last is completely irrelevant (unexisting packages
can't be expected to have relevant number of users.).
I vote for adding it back to the archive, it's a really a nice & useful tool
with unique functionality, AFAIK there's no known alternative to it.
