Also, the mailing list has little activity and few responses to questions. Is the project dead?
I'd like to modify mcopy so that it can sort directory entries. The goal is to create reproducible file system images. I figured I'd check first how "live" the project is before spending time on a patch that (1) may not get integrated and (2) may not get released in a reasonable time.
In the mean time I might get by by using "fatsort".
