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.
