[Bug 1180037] New: X11:Utilities/WoeUSB: Version upgrade
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1180037 Bug ID: 1180037 Summary: X11:Utilities/WoeUSB: Version upgrade Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: nopeinomicon@posteo.net QA Contact: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- This software is reasonably outdated as of now. The version packaged is the last version from the project's old git repo, but development has progressed much further. This would be an easy issue to take care of to resubmit the newer package, but the problem is the GUI component is no longer maintained, only the CLI tool. This should be resolved in some way, either by stripping the GUI entirely, or packaging the newer version separately, or some other way at the discretion of the maintainer of course. At the following link is the old Git repo, the readme explains the current state of development, including the depreciation of the GUI found in the package here: https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ah, that's a fair option, as the bash version seems on its way out as is. But for those who are on the current version, should it be upgraded, but lose/seperate GUI, or just be depreciated entirely? I'm absolutely willing to list some weight on the packaging end if need be, I maintain a few packages on OBS as of right now anyway, I'm just wondering what the best, or at least most clean for the project end, way to go about this is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Updated WoeUSB https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB (without GUI) 2. New WoeUSB-ng https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB-ng (with GUI) Creators of WoeUSB-ng asked for help:
Help needed
We need somebody with knowledge how to create .deb package (or other packages >for other linux distributions). Currently WoeUSB-ng is distributed via PyPi >which does not exactly suit ours needs. What will package need to do?
Move woeusb and woeusbgui scripts to /bin or equivalent set by system If needed, edit path do woeusb and woeusbgui in com.github.woeusb.woeusb-ng.policy Move com.github.woeusb.woeusb-ng.policy to /usr/share/polkit-1/actions Create entry in menu Move core.py, gui.py, list_devices.py, utils.py, workaround.py to ><python_path>/site-packages When uninstalling, remove and revert every change made to user system while >installing

For packaging WoeUSB, another bug can be filed if wished. There's already some packages in Home projects, including Emily's. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
