Open riptl opened 1 year ago

riptl commented 1 year ago

Description

Let's get radare2 back on Debian and Ubuntu.

https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-release@lists.debian.org/msg128481.html

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1014478

Debian has their own fork of radare2 here: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/radare2/-/tree/debian/master/debian

I'll take a first look at it but probably won't have enough bandwidth nor know-how to step up as a package maintainer.

@radare Clearly, there are a lot of Debian users. How about we maintain a "debianized" branch on this repo? Would be a show of goodwill and makes it easier for us to maintain.

If upstream is using git to manage their source, the debianization repository can live in a branch off of the main upstream tree. Clearly this can work only with some upstreams, but the big upside is that the relationship between the debianization and the upstream code is VERY clear. Patching and releasing are much more natural. Since the Debian APT repositories still use tarballs you still have to manage those with this setup, but pristine-tar exists for that purpose.

Ping

@trufae Unfortunately not. I filed 3 PRs 10 months ago and nobody responded. Do you have any contacts to ping? Maybe I can escalate this via my workplace too.
