hexdump dependency is abandoned #5

Closed amboar closed 3 years ago

amboar commented 3 years ago

Here's the hexdump package listing on pypi:

https://pypi.org/project/hexdump/

The Homepage link (https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/hexdump/) points bitbucket, but repository has been removed (the link 404's). Some searching suggests the package was not migrated to e.g. Github, and it hasn't seen a release since 2016.

It's probably worth reconsidering this dependency.

I will remove this dependency and implement a hex print function into socsec.

amboar commented 3 years ago

I thought about that and didn't feel comfortable reimplementing it myself in case I broke something and bricked a SoC. Might be good to add coverage for the hex bits to the test suite.

hexdump just used to print some bytearray information, it will not affect the output image.

10 remove the hexdump dependency, I think it is safe.
