All,

I would like to bounce the mtd-utils version from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0. This is the latest release and contains many fixes. However I do not want to do this if it breaks stuff for everyone else.
I am not happy with using a GIT checkout every time.
So the question is
1.) Do I bounce version and make makefile like mtd-utils.git 2.) Create another mtd target of 1.2.0

Hi Daniel,

I think the BR2_PACKAGE_MTD_UTILS variant, currently 1.1.0, should be upgraded to 1.2.0. Only the old 2005/2006 versions need to be kept for special reasons[*].

You probably need some of the Makefile changes/patches from my mtd-utils.git package.

[*] I don't know what those reasons are, and if they are still valid. If they are, mtd-utils upstream should be informed so they can be fixed.

thanks,
Hamish
