[Bug 747279] Re: [needs-packaging] Clean-Ubiquity (automatic MBR backup)

[YannUbuntu]

Dear all,
It now has its own PPA : https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/clean-ubiquity

integration in an ISO is very simple :  just needs to install the 2 packages from the PPA and add 2 lines in the iso/preseed :
ubiquity	partman/early_command	string /usr/bin/cleanubiquitybefore
ubiquity	ubiquity/success_command	string /usr/bin/cleanubiquityafter success

This tool has been used with success by thousands of ubuntu-fr users
since almost one year, a new Remix integrates it in Ubuntu 11.04, and
several Ubuntu derivatives are integrating it.

Anyone working on packaging ?

Title:
  [needs-packaging] Clean-Ubiquity (automatic MBR backup)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Clean-Ubiquity is a small tool (<100ko), written in Bash, that performs a MBR backup before Ubuntu's installation.
  No visible change for the user.
  Project page : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615667
  PPA: https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/clean-ubiquity/+packages
  Source code : https://sourceforge.net/projects/os-uninstaller/files/

  Its MBR backups can be recovered manually, but they can also be used by the 2 following graphical tools (now translated in 10 languages) :
  - OS-Uninstaller (allows to uninstall any Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu... in 1 click)
  - Boot-Repair (repair frequent boot problems, restore MBR, reinstall GRUB)

  DEB packages are ready, on my PPA, for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04,
  and have already been included them with success in ISO of Ubuntu,
  Kubuntu, Xubuntu 10.10 (I called this remix Ubuntu-Secured-Remix),and
  also Ubuntu derivatives.

  Integration in ISO is easy : Clean-Ubiquity needs 2 DEB (from PPA)and 2 preseed, one to launch a script before installation, the other to launch another script after the installation.
  Clean-Ubiquity and the 2 above tools have been intensively tested, and already used by thousands French users.

  (This is not an April fool. :-)
