* Package name : sjasmplus Version : 1.23.0 Upstream Contact: z00m128 <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/z00m128/sjasmplus * License : BSD, MIT, zlib Programming Lang: C++ Description : Cross-platform Zilog Z80 assembler (R800/Z80N/i8080/LR35902) sjasmplus is a command-line cross-compiler of assembly language for the Zilog Z80 CPU. It supports many machines specific directives, has a built-in Lua scripting engine, a 3-pass assembling, macro language, structures, virtual device mode. . Z80/R800/Z80N/i8080/LR35902 CPUs documented and undocumented opcodes support, fake instructions, relocation data generator. . Machine specific directives for ZX Spectrum machines (Including ZX Next), Amstrad CPC, IntelHEX support (homemade SBC computers) and emulator specific directives to define breakpoints from code (MAME, FUSE, ZEsarUX). . Supports source-level-debug information for DeZog debugger (VSC extension). . This package provides the assembler binary, examples and documentation. - I do need a sponsor, while I'm using Linux distributions derived from Debian for almost two decades, I rarely used Debian itself and I'm not direct contributor (yet) - I'm co-maintaining the upstream project and I'm planning to create debian packaging git repository on salsa.debian.org and maintain the package as well. - package is useful as convenience for retro-computer hobby programmers - it's as relevant as anything 8bit computing related (ie. for fun, not truly relevant) - it is being used as part of some SDK/tools as component (ZXDAAD, Mega PCM 2, ...) (but I don't think there is any official .deb package including sjasmplus) - pasmo assembler package exists and some people keep bashing my head that it is much simpler to recommend it because `apt install pasmo`. But also it's orphaned and I believe sjasmplus is overall better quality SW.
