>  Description     : create a file system image from a directory tree


First package, tested on sid of today (linux-i386), is available
at: http://www.freewrt.org/~tg/debs/dists/sid/wtf/pkgs/makefs/

Read http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=33925
for a long-standing bug in the ffs code, though (you’ll probably
have to use the -s option – in MirBSD, we use makefs(8) with it for
floppies, and all other uses are cd9660 which works superb).

I also manually rsync’d the AnonCVS and CVSweb mirror, so feel free
to poke in it (both for the package and for makefs itself).

Online manual page: http://www.mirbsd.org/man8/makefs

Aurelien Jarno will be looking into it (tomorrow, probably), but
more eyes never hurt. Luca Favatella will be testing it with his
d-i work on kfreebsd-* soonish.
