Description Yang Wentao 2020-11-21 07:48:26 UTC
Description of problem:

According to https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB (seen in the current WoeUSB 'about' menu), the maintainer will no longer fix the wxGTK frontend anylonger.
 
The current WoeUSB wxGTK version in fedora has been left unmaintained since the last release of the wxGTK version (3.3.1). As suggested by https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB, the current woeusb repository needs to be obsoleted in favour of the following repository:

1. The bash script version, by the original developer: https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB
2. A new fork written in wxPython, by a new developer: https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB-ng

The wxGTK version is still available at the 'obsoleted' branch of https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB and 'master' of https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB-frontend-wxgtk, but goes unmaintained.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '33'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2021-11-30 16:07:57 UTC
Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
