Hi LEOX Team,

(Is there more than one of you :-)

I have rolled all the peices you list together and produced a
genromfs-0.3.2 You can get it at:

 http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/utilities/genromfs-0.3.2.tar.gz

So it is at least all in one package now. I will attempt to contact
the maintainers to see about getting this back into the official
package - if it is still maintained. That is about as good as
we can do for now...

The elf2flt situation is much simpler. I can say that since I
originally created it. Pass any changes to davidm or I and we
can roll them into our standard release package.

There is a confusingly large number of versions on uclinux.org
though I notice. So lets settle on /pub/uClinux/utilities as
holding the latest master source package (although other
assorted versions may appear where appropriate on uclinux.org).

Regards
Greg
