[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.

    Makes me wonder how far the closest alternative, glim, could be upgraded to match Ventoy given the confines of GRUB.

    Someone had mentioned that Fedora fails to verify when booting from Ventoy. Now I’m thinking if I could dd the media loaded via Ventoy and compare with an original copy to see what changed.
