Description Anton Kochkov 2018-05-20 04:55:27 CEST

As you probably heard radare2 is the most popular free and open source reverse
engineering framework and a toolset. Many distributions already packaged it
https://repology.org/metapackage/radare2/versions

The current release is 2.5.0, but a new release (2.6.0) will be done in a
couple days. We usually make a new release every two months:
https://github.com/radare/radare2/milestones

Radare project started as a forensics tool, a scriptable commandline
hexadecimal editor able to open disk files, but later support for analyzing
binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, attaching to remote gdb
servers, ..

radare2 is portable.

    Architectures:

    6502, 8051, CRIS, H8/300, LH5801, T8200, arc, arm, avr, bf, blackfin, xap,
dalvik, dcpu16, gameboy, i386, i4004, i8080, m68k, malbolge, mips, msil,
msp430, nios II, powerpc, rar, sh, snes, sparc, tms320 (c54x c55x c55+), V810,
x86-64, zimg, risc-v.

    File Formats:

    bios, CGC, dex, elf, elf64, filesystem, java, fatmach0, mach0, mach0-64,
MZ, PE, PE+, TE, COFF, plan9, dyldcache, Commodore VICE emulator, Game Boy
(Advance), Nintendo DS ROMs and Nintendo 3DS FIRMs.

Documentation for the tool and framework available in a form of gitbook:
https://radare.gitbooks.io/radare2book/content/

P.S. Note, there is also a graphics interface for the radare2 written in Qt,
but it is still in the early phase of development and lags behind radare2 for
one or two releases: https://github.com/radareorg/cutter/

That looks good :-)

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

WiP radare.spec

Here is a "work in progress" spec file. 

There is one issue, binary depends on "*.so" files, instead of "*.so.2.6.0-git" files. Hence, we are obliged to install devel package.
