Some of Frank's patches were applied to what was in CVS, but not all. Som=
e=20
were pretty much the same thing done a different way.

The kerkel patchin script is pretty much untested work in progress. I am=20
awaiting setting up a 2.6 box to do that.=20

The files in fs/yaffs are supposed to be symbolic links back to the main=20
yaffs sources.

If you have a patch for a fixed patchin script that would be most welcome=
.
