Inclusion into F-Droid FOSS repos #51

Hi! Thanks for making this great software and for its ease of use - the easiest chroot creator of its kind for the platform IMO. Right now we are discussing its inclusion in the Free Open Source Android repo know as F-Droid. This will allow the app to be available outside the Google Play Store which which is invasive to the system and threatens privacy. This is the discussion thread:

Almost everything seems to be OK to allow immediate inclusion. The only obstacle is the presence of a mk2fs binary that does not have the corresponding source published. If you can release the code and/or find an alternate way as to not depend on the binary blob that would make it ready for the repo. Please feel free to discuss this here or there - as you wish. I appreciate your work and effort in making this software possible.
