YUMI is not in AUR and it is a nice way of installing Live ISOs

YUMI is a Multiplattform multi Live ISO installer I wish i would have in AUR

And is far better than using unetbootin imagewriter console dd or even Multisystem that is at AUR

Please anyone that knows how to make packages would be so kind to upload it to AUR

Thanks in advance

You can just learn to do it yourself, it's not that hard

Moving to AUR Issues, Discussion, and PKGBUILD requests.

Nothing could be simpler or easier than using dd.

All the best,

Can you create a multiboot pendrive using dd?
There's a reason 'dd' means 'data destroyer', so someone may argue that it's not the simplest or easiest way.

Re: YUMI is not in AUR and it is a nice way of installing Live ISOs

From what I've been able to find, there are prebuilt packages for some distros (not arch).  Even the "source code" download only includes prebuilt binaries.  If this is open source, find the source code and we can help with a PKGBUILD.  But if this isn't open source, you'll just have to appeal to the developer(s) to release something for arch.

You *could* use one of the packages for another distro and just reorganize the file installation - but from the looks of a few bits, this may not even work.

EDIT: scratch that, I found what looks to be actual source code burried under a "hiden" directory among the binaries.  I don't know if it's all the code or not, but I found it by grepping around for license information (which is also not very clear).  I found the code files themselves include comments claiming it is licensed as GPLv3.  Though I'm not sure an apparent attempt to make the source code hard to find really fits with the spirit of that license.

Trilby, i've looked inside the archive alos and found an interesting file, yumi-0.0.1.orig/src/YUMI/YUMI.gambas

It appears to have been build with the gambas IDE , and does have entries for archlinux.

Menus=archlinux:"Applications/System/Administration"
Categories=archlinux:"System"
Groups=archlinux:"misc"
ExtraDependencies=archlinux:"syslinux\t4.0\t\nsudo\t\t\nmtools\t\t"

It uses syslinux 4.0 and arch has switched to syslinux 6 .
The yumi howto states how to "solve" that :
you are supposed to replace the syslinux files from the archiso with older versions ...

The program says inside of it that it is GPL under "License" (I have Ubuntu.) It is weird that it doesn't have a license file, but I think we can make an Arch version.

Here is a screenshot:

That question on the noobie form freaked me out. I was able to figure it out, but why do we have that?
