[yocto] SOLVED: How to get mkfs.ext4 in rootfs package

[Gaurang Shastri]

Yes, as per e2fsprogs.bb file,

PACKAGES =+ "e2fsprogs-e2fsck e2fsprogs-mke2fs e2fsprogs-tune2fs
e2fsprogs-badblocks"
..
FILES_e2fsprogs-mke2fs = "${base_sbindir}/mke2fs
${base_sbindir}/mkfs.ext* ${sysconfdir}/mke2fs.conf"

But finally you got what you want :)
