Hi,
We first made that lib for us. And as it can be considered as "usable" (wich is
not the case for the rest of the project) we posted it there.
If you think it can be merged in mtd-utils, we'll take some time for
the coding style
and cleanups... I wanted to do that before, but didn't had a lot of
time to do so.
Which part of mtd-utils could use this lib ? maybe mkfs.ubifs ?
