Hi Jan!

I’d suggest these minor cosmetic changes:

In addition, there’s one thing we need to fix from an FSDG perspective,
which is described here:
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Software_blacklist#unetbootin>.

Could you check whether the package can be adjusted to use this FUSBi
fork mentioned there, and send an updated patch?

TIA!

Also note that the unetbootin distribution bundles a *lot* of
executables. I'm not sure if it's usable without them, or if FUSBi has
the same problem.

Ouch, sorry.

I checked...FUSBi has been discontinued.  :-(

Possibly we can learn from other distros?  I checked if I could use
Debian (which I'm familiar with) but they do not have FUSBi and they
sadly also do not strip unetbootin; so this needs a little more
attention.

Greetings,
Jan

We can take on the example of this fork instead: <https://trisquel.info/en/forum/unetbootin-fork>.

Looks as if is semi-active/fallen-asleep aswell:
https://devel.trisquel.info/tomlukeywood/unetbootin_libre_edition

https://notabug.org/tomlukeywood/Unetbootin_Libre_Edition
disappeared aswell, but it went here:
https://notabug.org/tomlukeywood/FreeNetBootin

Maybe there's a patch/substitute way to do this and keep in sync
with upstream.
Last conversation on the  thread is from 2015-06-30, can one
of you people involved in trying to get unetbootin into Guix
contact the fork developer?
