Today I was looking for utilities to create bootable USB drives. In WNPP I discovered quite a few ITP/RFPs for these types of tools:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?915458 multibootusb -- A cross platform utility to create multi boot live Linux on a removable USB disk https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?576359 usb-creator-to-be-renamed -- startup disk creator#718301 fedora-liveusb-creator -- Cross-platform tool for installing live operating systems on to USB flash drives https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?732647 mintstick -- USB stick formatter and ISO image writer https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?831981 mkusb - Tool to make boot drives. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718301 fedora-liveusb-creator -- Cross-platform tool for installing live operating systems on to USB flash drives (now MediaWriter) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?869875 woeusb -- Bootable USB Storage Creator for Windows Installer/PE And already in debian there is debootstick and some other efi/iso tools. Some of these are old and may not be supported/useful any more. Some of these may be distro/OS specific, But hopefully there is one that is being maintained and is generic enough to replace what the others do so we don't need to maintain all these things. Submitters/participants, please reply to your bugs (trim cc list accordingly) and let us know what's going on with these. -- Matt Taggart tagg...@debian.org
