Summary

Update crash from 9.0.0 to 9.0.2.

Upstream evidence

Reviewed official upstream sources indicate that 9.0.2 is a patch-level bug-fix release, not a feature release. Notable fixes mentioned upstream include live-session / vmcore parsing stability, arch-specific output fixes (aarch64, RISC-V), command redirection/pipeline handling, vmcoreinfo fallback handling, and cross-compilation changes for eppic.so / snapper.so to use $(CC).

Risk assessment

Risk level: medium
Decision: manual review
No explicit CVE or documented breaking change was found in the reviewed release notes.
crash is diagnostic tooling used on kernel dumps and live systems, so changes to output, parsing, and session handling require smoke testing before merge.

Packaging notes

Bump Version to 9.0.2.
Refresh source checksum / source lock for the GitHub tarball.
Verify the current Makefile rewrite still applies and that eppic.so / snapper.so build/install paths remain correct.
Confirm no new BuildRequires/Requires are needed.

Required validation

Build in a clean niceos-5.2 mock/Koji environment.
Run smoke tests on a representative vmcore and live session.
Check output-parsing scenarios and arch-specific paths where hardware is available.
