Source: unetbootin
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: wasting massive amounts of developer and user time
I've already added one wishlist bug for d-i to add code to detect
unetbootin usage and complain about it, but I've not got there
yet. unetbootin used to be a helpful tool for many people to create
USB-bootable installer images, but these days seems responsible for
lots of user problems and difficult-to-resolve bug reports. Using it
for Debian CD images creates USB images that do not work correctly.
It's not even needed any more - we've been making working iso-hybrid
images for years now.
Unetbootin is wasting massive amounts of developer and user time. :-(
Please add:
* An entry in the Debian package description to say "Do not use
unetbootin for Debian CD images, just write them raw using dd" or
similar.
* A runtime warning (with a similar message) if the user is
attempting to use unetbootin for a Debian CD image.
