   Description     : a tool for decoding register values

bitfield is a small tool for decoding register values and inspecting
individual fields of a register.

bitfield is intended for use by programmers working on low-level software.

Users provide a configuration for each register which defines the
individual fields. bitfield then decodes provided hex values using the
configuration to print a readable interpretation.

I'm aware of the name conflict with #864358, though that bug hasn't seen
any activity in over a year. An alternative name would be "bitfield-decode".

I am currently working on tidying up the Python packaging upstream as
well as implementing a bunch of new features, so the Debian packaging
might wait until things settle a bit.

I am not a DD or DM, so would need a sponsor.

Hi Vitalie, hi Andrew,

you both have submitted ITPs for different packages named bitfield.

This is a conflict that has to be resolved.

IMHO the name "bitfield" is too generic for both packages.

I'm happy to rename mine to "bitfield-decoder" or something like that.
