Can you clarify ? Which kernel ? Yaffs has never been a mainline
filesystem, but
I have it in the yocto released kernels.

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.4/commit/?h=standard/base&id=a8291fa6f723b0182d2b7033b5d59f412ba7cf72

Cheers,

We removed it from OE-Core 18 months ago. The code was old, not working
particularly well and lacking someone to maintain it so it got moved
out. I'm sure the tools would be accepted into meta-oe if someone
updated and cleaned up the recipe for it. For OE-Core you'd have to show
a larger user base than there currently appears to be...

Cheers,

Richard
