Bug#869875: usb bootdrive utilities in Debian
I am the maintainer/submitter of the woeusb package, I am interested in making it into Debian but currently lack the resource to do so. [There's existing Debian packaging in the source tree, though]( https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB/tree/master/debian).

Bug#680668: tasksel: Input methods for chinese - (Was: Updating chinese-t-desktop in tasksel for Wheezy.)
I would like to request dropping the following two fonts:
* fonts-arphic-ukai
* fonts-arphic-uming
IMO there's no one really uses it, with a confusing font family names,
unmaintained, and causes glitches in certain cases like the GNU gettext
manual <
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntu.zh.hant/permalink/2225280084193968/>
etc.
It should be replaced by Noto Serif CJK/Source Han Serif fonts.

Bug#870242: RFS: woeusb/2.1.2+-1 (ITP) -- Bootable Windows installation/PE USB storage creator
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors, I am looking a sponsor for my (currently working on) package "woeusb": * Package name: woeusb * Version : 2.1.2(and future releases) * Upstream Author : slacka <https://github.com/slacka>, 林博仁 <buo.ren@gmail.com> et.al, refer <https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB/graphs/contributors> for the full list. WinUSB(the source of the fork) author is Colin GILLE / congelli501 <colingi...@hotmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB * License : GPL v3 * Section : utils It builds this binary package: woeusb - Bootable Windows installation/PE USB storage creator To access further information about this package, please visit the following URLs: https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB https://mentors.debian.net/package/woeusb (not uploaded yet, might not be available) Thanks, 林博仁 <buo.ren@gmail.com>
Bug#869875: ITP: woeusb -- Bootable USB Storage Creator for Windows Installer/PE
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "林博仁" <buo.ren@gmail.com> * Package name: woeusb Version : 2.1.2(and future releases) Upstream Author : slacka <https://github.com/slacka>, 林博仁 <buo.ren@gmail.com> et.al, refer <https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB/graphs/contributors> for the full list. WinUSB(the source of the fork) author is Colin GILLE / congelli501 <colingi...@hotmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB * License : GPL v3 Programming Lang: Bash(core), C++(GUI wrapper based on WxWidgets) Description : Bootable USB Storage Creator for Windows Installer/PE This package contains two programs: . - woeusb: a simple Bash script that enables you to create your own bootable Windows installation USB storage device from an existing Windows Installation DVD or its ISO image. - woeusbgui: woeusb's GUI wrapper based on WxWidgets Supported images: Windows Vista, Seven, 8 installer for any language and any version (home, pro...) and Windows PE. . This software is a fork of Colin GILLE / congelli501's WinUSB software. http://en.congelli.eu/prog_info_winusb.html --- - why is this package useful/relevant? It allows debian users to create USB Windows installer easily without resorting to a Windows machine. - is it a dependency for another package? Nope. - do you use it? Yes. This application is often needed for re-installing collegue/family member's Win - if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare? It's possible to achive the same goal by meddling with `parted`, `grub` etc, however this requires advanced knowlege to disk partitioning and OS bootstrapping. - how do you plan to maintain it? As I am one of the upstream developers the debianization of this package will be simultaneously maintained in the upstream codebase. The changes specifically required by Debian may be maintained in a separated branch or code repository.

Bug#842018: reportbug: .desktop file launches shell application without setting Terminal=true
I believe that the gtk support of reportbug should be separated in individual package(like reportbug-gtk) instead of listing it's dependency in Suggests:. Also moving the desktop entry to that package so it won't confuse user that this is an intended-to-be GUI application. 林博仁 <buo.ren@gmail.com>

This package is trying to make l10n-tw-logo as installed icons/clipart that can be applied to l10n-tw related folders or documents. There is future plans to making desktop backgrounds derived from the icons, but it is not implemented yet. This package is selected due to to it's simplicity(the only programming language used is Bash scripts) for learning Debian packaging, there may be less use for it to be really included in Debian, though. - is it a dependency for another package? Nope. - do you use it? Yes. - if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare? Nope. - how do you plan to maintain it? As I AM the upstream the packaging wil be mainained in the upstream codebase.
Bug#737475: #737475
I can confirm this bug. I wonder where did the script set those feature_* variables, maybe from /etc/default/grub...? Also the grub-mkconfig scripts under /etc/grub.d should be fixed to not output the entire id if the id feature is disabled. 林博仁 <buo.ren@gmail.com>
