Alexander, are you okay with startup-disk-creator? Yes, that sounds good to me. Great, will do! One question though. Are you requiring that we change the name of the source package as well as the binary packages?

Yes, we have and will reject packages because of too generic names (several gnustep package come to my mind). Here are some alternative names: - live-usb-creator (as Mehdi suggested earlier) - iso-usb-creator - startup-disk-creator (this is what the Gnome menu item reads [1]) - startup-usb-creator - ubuntu-usb-creator I can't say I agree, but if we're going to have to do this, we might as well take the opportunity to make it consistent with the .desktop file. Alexander, are you okay with startup-disk-creator? I think if we can get rid of usb in the name, that would be good as it can write to SD cards. I want to avoid using live in the name since, as I previously mentioned, it can write debian-installer based images, which are definitely not live CDs. I don't want to put Ubuntu in the name. It writes more than just Ubuntu images (currently any Debian-based image, but in the future any Linux distribution that uses GRUB2). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I prefer waiting for the new release before trying to upload it to Debian. This is a native package. 0.2.23 will be released when it's uploaded :). The maintainer is currently set as Ubuntu Installer Team as these Ubuntu Debian Developers have actually created and maintained this package. Actually, this is a bug. It should be the usb-creator-hackers team now. Fixed. As we will be maintaining this package for Debian, we will set ourselves in the Maintainer and Uploaders fields. Is this necessary? I'm more than happy to add people to the usb-creator-hackers team. I'd really like to avoid having a delta between Debian and Ubuntu on this, if possible. * .desktop files: - I am not convinced that usb-creator's Desktop file should appear in System/Administration as using it does not have an effect on the local system. I'd rather put it in Application/System tools. What do you think about this? It has an effect on the devices attached to the local system. There are other applications in System-Administration that are similar in nature to usb-creator, such as GParted and Disk Utility (palimpsest). Does usb-creator not appear in the same menu as these two applications in Debian? You don't specify that something goes into the Administration menu in the XDG spec, but rather list a set of categories it falls under. So if you're seeing different behavior for similar programs, we might have the set of categories wrong.

Could you rename it into something like live-usb-creator? This package has been shipped in Ubuntu for a few releases now. Honestly, I don't know how you (as a team) ended up with such a name. I do not think it is misleading at all. Calling it live-usb-creator would just add confusion as it can be used to write debian-installer ISOs as well, which clearly are not live CDs. I don't believe the name is misleading when read together with short description or with long description. Having a clear short description is not a valid reason to keep that name, IMO. And such a name may not be appropriate because it's too general. live-usb-creator tells you what the program does, without reading its short description. I don't think you can encapsulate what this program does in the package name alone. Equally, Evolution isn't packaged as evolution-mail-client, despite evolution telling you nothing about what it does. So why should we apply this new rule to just usb-creator? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#542635: mcopy does not respect input from /dev/null
Package: mtools
Version: 4.0.10-1
mcopy will still ask for confirmation, even if you pipe /dev/null into it.
The attached patch fixes the issue for me, but I am not sure of
whether it may have other implications.
