https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1354201 Bug ID: 1354201 Summary: SUSE Studio ImageWriter probably shouldn't be recommended Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Description of problem: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/Installation_Guide/se... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 23 Fedora 24 Actual results: Docs says "Download and run the SUSE Studio ImageWriter or Rawrite32." The ImageWriter link URL is https://github.com/downloads/openSUSE/kiwi/ImageWriter.exe The problems are: - I can't verify the provenance of the binary downloaded from that link. I get 404 errors when I try to get to each parent directory, so I have no idea what this binary really is, who produced it, how old it is, what version it is, etc. I think recommending users download an almost random binary on Windows of all OS's probably isn't good advice. - openSUSE considers ImageWriter unmaintained. "We used to have SUSE Studio ImageWriter compiled for windows, but this is not maintained anymore." https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Create_a_Live_USB_stick_using_Windows And they point to a different URL for that project than we do, which hasn't had a pull request or issue responded to in over a year. Nevertheless the code there is probably newer than the binary we're offering to download. http://www.github.com/openSUSE/imagewriter Expected results: Let's just recommend Rawrite32, it's recently updated and it looks like the binaries are signed. http://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/ Additional info: -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
