do_rootfs and mkfs.jffs2

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

I just tried to make a jffs2 image, but got an error that mkfs.jffs2
was not found.
Apparently somewhere a dependency to mtd-utils-native should be added,
but I have no idea where.

In conf/bitbake.conf there is a line:

IMAGE_DEPENDS_jffs2 = "mtd-utils-native"

So one would think that would do the trick. Were you doing anything 
unusual to generate the jffs2 image (e.g, trying to override the default 
image type for your target)?

Builds for ben-nanonote was affected by this for me:

That line is here as well.
I did not do anything special. I was building james-image distro
minimal target sheevaplug
The only odd thing I noticed was that there was some mtd-utils output
in my recipes dir.
Maybe somewhere a build put stuff at the wrong place. Frankly no idea
how that could happen though (and didn't verify file times before I
nuked them.
We'll see if it reoccurs.

PS: was about to press send, then Yuri mentionen a bitbake issue
causing output to end up at the wrong place.
Guess I've been bitten by that and the stamps tell that the package is
build but the exe is not there.

I guess you're running bitbake master, but not quite up to date. This
mtd-utils problem is a side effect of the PWD environment variable
being incorrectly set, which has now been fixed in bitbake master.
