I see nothing in gnu/packages/ where I could put reverse
engineering, disassembler tools.
What I want to package is the disassember panopticon
(https://panopticon.re)
Existing:
code.scm is a bit too generic for the specific purpose of panopticon
debug.scm does not get the category right.
As this doesn't do the job for me, I propose
gnu/packages/disassembler.scm
or
gnu/packages/re.scm
or
gnu/packages/reverse-engineering.scm
as it specifies an existing category of software and is not just
another debugger.
Additional thoughts:
Reverse engineering typically makes use of Debuggers,
Disassemblers, Hex Editors and PE and Resource Viewers. A
new category could be used to cut down on category files maybe
get some existing, non-specific software into the new created
category.
Other solution: use the new category only for software
specifically developed for RE.
What do you think?
