Evaluation for GNU may last for a long time.

What we could do is approve it as a non-GNU package, and change its type on Savannah when it's dubbed as a GNU package.

What do you think?

Registration Details


  • Name: GNU poke
  • System Name:  poke
  • Type: Official GNU software
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later





Description:

GNU poke is an extensible, interactive editor for binary data. Not limited to editing basic ntities such as bits and bytes, it provides a full-fledged procedural, interactive programming language designed to describe data structures and to operate on them. Once a user has defined a structure for binary data (usually matching some file format) she can search, inspect, create, shuffle and modify abstract entities such as ELF relocations, MP3 tags, DWARF expressions, partition table entries, and so on, with primitives resembling simple editing of bits and bytes. The program comes with a library of already written descriptions (or “pickles” in poke parlance) for many binary formats.


Other Comments:

Evaluation for getting poke appointed as an official GNU program is still on-going in GNU-eval.  But I really need a place where to host it, because this September I will be talking about the program in 6 different free software conferences.

The software can be found in fp.gnu.org:~jemarch/git/poke.git
