YAFFS A NAND-flash filesystem

Origin of Source
----------------
All YAFFS source is pulled from this site
http://www.aleph1.co.uk/armlinux/projects/yaffs/

The web CVS repository is located at:
http://www.aleph1.co.uk/armlinux/cvsuse.html


To Repull the Source (quoted straight from the above site)
------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to use cvs directly then public read-only access is available,
using the pserver mechanism. Execute the following (bash) commands to 
set environment variables, (or their equivalent for other shells):
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[e-mail]:/home/aleph1/cvs
cvs logon (Hit return when asked for a password)
cvs checkout <module> (see below for module names)

In this case <module> = "yaffs".

Changes
--------
The kernel source located in this repository was integrated in the PPC
linux 2.4.21-pre2-cerf1 kernel.  Changes to the source include the use
of the ECC code previously in the kernel.

Building the utilities
-----------------------
The only thing currently supported for building in this repository is
the mkyaffs and mkyaffsimage utilities.  A softlink must be present at
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.21 that points to your kernel directory.
You may need to edit the CROSS env variable in ./utils/Makefile if 
you are cross compiling.  To build, cd to utils directory and type make.
