While extracting, I got messages that had colors within. Defeating --nocolor option of makepkg, which is nice to its --log. I believe these colors are created by the arch's maintainer. Am I right? Can that be improved?

Oh I am sorry, I just updated ventoy-bin and saw _msg2. Didn't realize it is wrapping printf, and completely forgot I suggested this before - I've been doing it to a couple of packages lately. Apologies and thanks for making the package better!

@thiagowfx: That was actually already done awhile ago.

@thiagowfx - We do use printf since you made that suggestion the first time.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_etiquette:

Do not use makepkg subroutines (e.g. error, msg, msg2, plain, warning) as they might change at any time. To print data, use printf or echo.

@DuckSoft: you are right, its my fault.

@TheHitMan: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom /dev/sdb

I think you have used the wrong arguments for qemu. Try qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sdb.


FYI: Here is how I test ventoy-bin after each release:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/vdisk.img bs=1M count=1024
$ sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/vdisk.img
$ ventoy -i /dev/loop0
...
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/loop0

Please do not use msg2 and similar functions in the PKGBUILD:

@Tyilo I've updated the package. Please have a try with 1.0.42-3 and see if it works normally.


@C0rn3j I think it might make sense to open an issue about this upstream, so both could be supported depending on what is available on the system.

Upstream actually have bundled mkexfatfs and mount.exfat-fuse binaries for us. But I thought, there are existing binaries in exfat-utils, so why not use them?

What I didn't anticipate is that exfatprogs provides and conflicts with exfat-utils, but is not fully compatible with exfat-utils -- missing binaries, different CLI arguments...

So let's just put everything back then -- just use the bundled binaries.
