[issue]: Remove BLOBs from the source tree · Issue #2795 · ventoy/Ventoy
github.com
What happened? Due to the recent XZ-Utils drama I checked the code and I'm appalled. There are more BLOBS than source code. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f8946...

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

    Doesn’t YUMI use Ventoy code? I hope I am wrong because I would prefer to use that instead.

      yep

      Then most recently, the final YUMI exFAT variant was released. It currently uses a Ventoy bootloader, supports UEFI and BIOS USB booting via a secondary hidden Fat32 partition, and utilizes an exFAT partition for storing the bootable ISO files.
