now if only e2fsprogs would integrate the `genext2fs` project :).
Darren Hart created a shell script which uses debugfs to do all of the
dirty work, called populate-extfs.sh which I believe Linaro and the
Yocto project is using instead of genext2fs.
I'm not entirely sure this the latest version, but so you can get a
flavor of the script, see:
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/45415/
Darren, if you think the script is pretty stable, I'd be happy to drop
the latest version of it into the contrib directory of e2fsprogs.
Let me sync with Robert (on Cc) who has been doing the integration to
see what he thinks about that.
Hi Darren, thanks for the info, the recent patches are here:
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/49409/
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/49413/
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/49415/
It seem that they are still not stable enough from the replying of the oe-core
mailing list, and I'm working it.

We consider the script to be a temporary mechanism. Now that the symlink
support has been added to debugfs, we are working to validate that
everything works via the script. Once complete, the second stage of this
effort is to move some of the logic from debugfs into libe2fs and make
it available to mke2fs as well as debugfs. Then we would want to add the
-i (initial dir) argument I had proposed originally to be able to format
and populate an image in a single step.
I provide that context in case it impacts Mike's plans. Always good to
know what others are planning :-)
