This is a slightly modified version of mtd-utils v1.2.0 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29271). The naming of the package is ugly but I had to improvise because I cannot submit ${pkgname} as mtd-utils with different ${pkgver}.

I must stress again, the purpose of this package is only if you are an owner of Nokia N900 and you want to use the same mtd-utils version as the one it was built on. It is not the latest mtd-utils so please reconsider before flagging it as out-of-date (especially if you do not own Nokia N900).

More information about why this version was specifically chosen and an instance of where this mtd-utils would be handy is at: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=844029&postcount=1 (Look under: Can I restore my BackupMenu images through the Nokia Flasher?)
