When I implemented the new ubi utilities, I moved the old ones to mtd-utils/ubi-utils/old-utils/ This caused criticism and I had to return the old utilities back, and put my new utilities to mtd-utils/ubi-utils/new-utils. It seems that nowadays the old ubi utilities are unused and unmaintained. And I've got a question from Sidney if it would be possible to change the MTD repository layout and move the new utilities to mtd-utils/ubi-utils and old utilities to mtd-utils/ubi-utils/old-utils just like I have originally done. So, will you mind if I do this, taking into account that the old utilities are not widely used and not maintained? -- Best regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Битюцкий Артём)
