> Is it possible to just patch unetbootin to use the main versions of any > decoding formats it needs? (like call > lzma instead of p7zip etc) Initial answer was no, I'm asking for clarification. Upstream doesn't want to maintain separate code-paths for Linux and Windows/Mac.
> is the plan to adopt unetbootin or rewrite it or something? We've found that our current solution is incredibly unreliable and a new solution is needed. Since we haven't been able to maintain our current solution, I suggested UNetBootIn because it is the biggest project of it's kind and will likely continue to be maintained and improved outside of Ubuntu. It would also let us customize UNetbootin for Windows/Mac deployment instead of using a third party. Others *are* looking (in parallel) into trying to fix startup disk creator (and a first patch was just proposed). We are going to coordinate when we find which path is more sustainable. >To the "ugly" part New design work is being down as well as a port to QT5 has been proposed.
