Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : hexcompare
  Version         : x.y.z
  Upstream Author : Julien McArdle, Tomasz Wasilczyk, Mateusz Viste, and
  others
* URL             : https://sourceforge.net/projects/hexcompare/
* License         : GPLv3

  Description     : quick overview of binary content changes

hexcompare is a tool used to compare two binary or ASCII files. In overview
mode, it presents a block diagram which quickly displays what's the
same/different between two sets of files.

Rationale: I think it's a good pet/toy package, suitable as exercise
for any new maintainer. I found it quite usefull for quick debug
sessions since it's slim and provides nice overview of changes very
quickly.
