Earlier, Marion Deveaud proposed adding cramfs and jffs2 packages to cygwin. He had done some initial work on porting, but was unable to commit to maintaining the packages if they were accepted as part of the cygwin net distribution.
As I'm already maintaining a couple of packages, Marion was kind enough to allow me to work with him on putting together these two packages for submission. The end results are a couple of packages that are a joint effort between Marion and myself, which I've committed to maintaining if they're accepted as part of the cygwin net release. One concern: the mtd source package is rather large, as it is a snapshot of the whole mtd source tree. If this is a concern, I can work on trimming down the sources to just the essentials needed to build the utilities. cramfs: Hint : http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/cramfs/setup.hint Binary : http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/cramfs/cramfs-1.1-1.tar.bz2 Source : http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/cramfs/cramfs-1.1-1-src.tar.bz2 category: Devel requires: cygwin zlib sdesc: "Tools to create and verify Linux CRAMFS filesystem images." ldesc: "Tools to create and verify Linux CRAMFS filesystem images.
