Migrate To Python 3 & Improve Cross-Distro Compatability #57

Open lots0logs opened 7 years ago

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

Hi @lmacken, I updated the code for Python 3 and made some changes to make it easier to support other distributions besides Fedora. I'm not sure if this is something you will be interested in so I thought I would mention it first to get your thoughts (before submitting a PR). You can view my changes here: https://github.com/lmacken/liveusb-creator/compare/develop...Antergos:develop

To be honest, liveusb-creator is not really developed anymore, in favor of MartinBriza/MediaWriter . I see you've done a lot of work so there probably won't be a problem merging your changes though. However, in case you're interested in having a multiplatform media writer, my repository is much better suited for that. Most (not all) pieces required for easily replacing a distribution offering are already in place.

I did not realize that the project had been renamed

Wow..yeah that sucks (the time I spent on the old code thinking it was the currently maintained code) :sweat_smile:

Well, it was not actually renamed. liveusb-creator is still quite a different project with a different set of features, especially considering it's still possible to pull the persistent overlay and nondestructive mode code from its past and easily readd them to the source code. MediaWriter on the other hand is a project that's aimed at beaing easier to port to other platforms and in current state, it's more stable. I'm sorry about not making the difference clear on this page so you put a lot of work into something that may not go into Fedora (for example) in the end. However, if you want to use MediaWriter in your distribution, please get in touch with me on m@rtinbriza.cz or mbriza on freenode. As I said, MediaWriter has a lot of stuff making using it in other distributions in place so we can finish that and make use of it for Antergos, too.
