New cask "ghidra", version 9.0_PUBLIC_20190228

[Kreeblah]

This is a cask for installing Ghidra from https://www.ghidra-sre.org/.
Ghidra is a new reverse-engineering/decompilation tool, which the NSA
is in the process of open-sourcing. Since the source is not yet
available, caution is advised due to the source of the software.

After making all changes to the cask:

• brew cask audit --download {{cask_file}} is error-free.
• brew cask style --fix {{cask_file}} reports no offenses.
• The commit message includes the cask’s name and version.
• The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

• Named the cask according to the token reference.
• brew cask install {{cask_file}} worked successfully.
• brew cask uninstall {{cask_file}} worked successfully.
• Checked there are no open pull requests for the same cask.
• Checked the cask was not already refused.
• Checked the cask is submitted to the correct repo.

Since this will be a CLI-only open-source tool, please submit it first to Homebrew/core as a formula. Return here if not accepted (linking back to the pull request where it was refused).

This policy is documented in faq/rejected_casks:

The app is both open-source and CLI-only (i.e. it only uses the binary artifact). In that case, and in the spirit of deduplication, submit it first to Homebrew/core as a formula that builds from source. If it is rejected, you may then try again as a cask (link us to the issue so we can see the discussion and reasoning for rejection).

FWIW, this is actually NOT a CLI-only tool. It's a bit odd, but the zip file is a static structure of an entire application. On *nix, running ghidraRun runs a support script that launches the (java) Ghidra application (while ghidraRun.bat does the same on Windows).

That said I don't know how you feel about including it as a Cask, since there's no actual .app or .pkg that creates an actual mac application.

I made a really simple tap for it until upstream officially starts bundling the .app.

Seems like it was not accepted to Homebrew/core at this time: Homebrew/homebrew-core#37656
Hope to see it in the cask soon.

It seems the symlink source '/usr/local/Caskroom/ghidra/9.0.1_PUBLIC_20190325/ghidra_9.0/ghidraRun' is not there.

How to fix.

fwiw, a lot of code was just added to the ghidra github repo in the past few days. seems to include build files.

Any update on this? Ghidra source code has been already released.
