See my comments below. > Hi *Would be nice to know your real name*! The Dreambox community has areas of interrest which are working on receiving PayTV with receivers not certifed by the PayTV vendors, therefore people prefere to be known only by their nicks. My focus areas are not any of these activities, but please respect my privacy. If needed I can drop you a mail from my personal account but not via the full distrubution list. > Where can I find the sources? Originally it was planned to submit ubidump.c as a new member of mtd-utils but as I received no real help from my community in testing and developing addons to ubidump like a GUI for Windows and Linux, I decided to keep it closed source for the moment and ship it only as compiled binaries with a shareware license. This is possible as I wrote ubidump from scratch after failing multiply to create an ubidump tool out of existing code. It was simply a too complex task for me, so I had to do it my way - and I didn't even read much of the ubifs documentation either. To be honest this idiots approach reduced the complexity of the task dramatically, but it still was a 200h project. For adapting mkfs.ubifs to our needs I would off course respect the GPL and publish the sources or a patch - which brings us back to my original question to the mailing list. > Feel free to send a patch against > http://git.infradead.org/mtd-www.git I will try, but as I'm too old for using such modern stuff like git this could take some time to find out how to diff the xml Kind Regards, gutemine
