Get udis86 into Ubuntu

[postmodern]

Hello, maintainer of the Ruby FFI bindings for udis86 here. I want to automate the testing of my bindings on Travis CI, which uses git hooks to run tests in a Ubuntu 12.04 VM. Unfortunately, Ubuntu appears to not have any udis86 packages. We should try to get udis86 into the Ubuntu package repository.

Hi, this sounds good to me, but I am ignorant about package management in Ubuntu. How does one go about doing this?

The formal route is to submit a bug to Launch Pad.

For testing you can use udis86 packages from my repository: ppa:sbasalaev/pub
Version 1.7.2 is not uploaded there because it fails on tests.

@SBasalaev could you update your PPA for 20.04? Also would be cool if we could get udis86 into the Ubuntu or Debian repos. :)

@postmodern Ok, I tried to update the package for Ubuntu Groovy but it does not build anymore. All the python tools used by the project already migrated to Python 3 and that causes lots of errors, which I am not skilled enough to fix. As I can see there are already some issues reported on this matter, like #120 and #123

pretty late to the party but I will package this as it's a requirement for ppsspp. I would rather not package it as this project seems pretty dead with a inactive maintainer; I'd appreciate it if someone could fork this project and at least merge the high-priority MRs
