[martintxo <martintxo@sindominio.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Package name: mintstick
Version: 1.1.9
Upstream Author: Clement Lefebvre <root@linuxmint.com>
URL: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintstick
License: GPL v2
Programming Lang: Python
Description: USB stick formatter, GUI in gtk3 and python. It can serve for
                     write .img and .iso files to USB sticks too.

I'm searching for a tool for that the end user can "format" a usb stick (usb
flash drive) in the desktop. I think that both Gnome and KDE have these tool.
But I not find one for other lightweight environments like Xfce or LXDE... I
found too in http://wnpp.debian.net/ and in
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages ...

Now I find mintstick, a tool written in python and gtk3, that works in Linux
Mint. I try it in Debian Testing and works "more or less" for usb format (in my
system it works only for root or with sudo) :-/. Try it as: sudo mintstick -m
format

I would like to see this tool (or another similar) in Debian. Thanks in advance
and excuse my bad english (I'm from Spain). Greetings. Martintxo.
