It is no secret that the recent console manager Midnight Commander stopped in its development. We do not know the reasons why this is happening, but we badly want to see its further development. In fact, the Midnight Commander is developing further, but distributions in the form of patches, for each distribution its own set of patches. In fact, there are many versions of modern MS for each distribution. Please, cool down a bit. The various distributions usually have a set of patches to MC but the most important one is the UTF-8 patch. The rest are usually of much lesser interest. Our team was formed recently, we have only just begun working on Midnight Commander, we have yet to be established, the relationship within the team have formed. But we are striving to become a team, which will be beneficial to all fans MC (a lot of them). Already, we have created assembly, which could satisfy both users of Debian/Ubuntu, FreeBSD and Gentoo, and users of Red Hat Linux distributions, Open Suse, MandRiva etc. You may have to apologize already issued release mc-4.6.3 (actually, we do not have the right to publish under that name). It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.. :) You should have done it the proper way by trying to communicate your changes with official MC instead of making a yet another fork. You team has just formed and no one knows for how long it will last, nor what your aims are. Many like you have appeared in the past and soon lost interest in their own creation. If you are unaware of that fact you might want to check the archives. We are a young team, we ask that you permit the continued development of Midnight Commander it was under this name. Also, please refer to us the files CVS repository for the preservation of history and development of the names of all people, ever participated in the development mc. We understand that this may be shocking request, but nevertheless, we hope to receive any response - if the answer is we simply will Forque, which we hope will develop further. We want to see MC very comfortable and pleasant, not as it is now. Please, try to follow the traditional way of doing things. If you really want to become a MC developer, be so kind, to do it the proper way which means post your changes to the mailing list, discuss issues and so on.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #21331 (project mc): I am attaching a patch. It should fix the hang and display an error message box. The message is not precise enough i.e. Access denied., but getting the real cause of the error would require the remote user group/id to be retrieved and matched against the file mode/permissions either locally or on the remote system - I am not really sure that we want that.

Re: Resolving symlinked dirs when execing command
Hello, Original-Nachricht Datum: Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:05:56 +0100 Von: Denys Vlasenko Betreff: Resolving symlinked dirs when execing command One thing which may be simple to fix: On my machine I have: $ ls -l /software lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 14 Jun 26 12:23 /software - /auto/software If I cd into /software while I am in mc, and then I run any command, it is run in *resolved dir*: $ pwd /auto/software It differs from what happens under e.g. shell: sh-3.1$ cd /software sh-3.1$ pwd /software Why mc resolves dir and cd'es into it before it forks a child? I am not able to reporoduce this behaviour. If you want me to track it down you'll have to give more details. I tried with latest CVS version of MC with subshell support enabled. I created a link to a random directory and entered it via cd linkname entered from the prompt widget, then I pressed Ctrl + O and in the subshell I ended up in linkname and not in the resolved directory. Also running `pwd' from the prompt widget did not print the resolved dir but linbkname. -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

Hello, The GNU people asked me whether we would like to move the project homepage to http://www.gnu.org/software/mc. Currently this is a redirect to the homepage at ibiblio. There are certain advantages if we make this move - the homepage source can be stored in savannah's cvs and it will be automatically fetched each time a change is made and published to the address above.

Getting ready for a release
Hello, As it has been discussed on the mailing list a new release of MC is long overdue. So... I plan to release a new version of MC by mid October. This gives us about a month (till the end of September) for final testing, bug reporting, fixing, updating translations and other related tasks - the last two are to be used by translators to update the MC translation. I hope that everyone interested will participate in this process so that we can finally release a new version. There are three full weeks by the end of September which can be used to release at most 3 pre-releases and give each a week of testing and polishing (depending on the user feedback). I am going to wait till the end of this week for your suggestions on how to use the remaining three weeks and make a plan according to them, then I'll publish the first pre-release on Monday. This reminds me that we have another problem to solve - how are we going to number the new release ?

Re: Getting ready for a release
Original-Nachricht Datum: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 14:43:53 +0200 Von: Egmont Koblinger An: Pavel Tsekov Betreff: Re: Getting ready for a release Being a maintainer of a distro what I see is that by now every Linux distribution that matters has switched to using UTF-8, and mc is amongst the really very very few packages that still need to be patched to work correctly in such environments. (I think mc is the only one where lack of utf-8 support is immediately seen by the users and makes it nearly unusable in such systems). Lack of UTF-8 support is a big minus on the part of MC, but I think that your statement is a bit overestimated. It's more like MC is not following the latest trend, IMO. Hence distros will still have to patch mc for UTF-8, just as they did with 4.6.1. It also implies that users won't be able to simply download and compile and use this brand new mc - they'll have to wait for their distributors to update the package, which probably don't happen immediately due to the work required on their side. MC on all major distros comes with the UTF-8 patch. MC in CVS is not different than the snapshots most of the distros use to build their packages - maybe there are some who stick to the 4.6.1 release though. So IMHO UTF-8 support out of the box is a must for the version named 4.7. I haven't looked at the UTF-8 patch recently (but I will) so I cannot comment it. Do you think that UTF-8 patch 'as is' is the right way to implement UTF-8 for MC ? And what about ncurses - it is my opinion that it must not be dropped in favor of S-Lang... -- Pt!

[bug #13146] make tabs and trailing spaces visible
Follow-up Comment #17, bug #13146 (project mc): Ok. I tracked the bug to vte_terminal_determine_colors() in the vte package. To request brighter colors one forces the terminal into bold mode. It seems that in this mode vte allows only the foreground color to be bright. In vte's terms a bright color is the same color as the normal one but with a special flag set. So what happens is that when the time comes for the cursor to blink vte switches the current forground color with the current background color and vice versa... As I said above both colors are indentified in the same way but one has a special flag, however vte uses this flag to brighten the foreground color so at the end we end up as if nothing happened. It's hard to say whether this is the desired behaviour .. I'll attach a simple patch which changes vte to do what seems more logically correct... and I'll open a report in gnome's bugzilla.

[bug #13146] make tabs and trailing spaces visible
Follow-up Comment #16, bug #13146 (project mc): IMO, this must be a bug in gnome-terminal. It doesn't behave properly if one uses both the bright and normal colors as the background and foreground of the same cell. I changed the the definition of editwhitespace to brightred,red and the cursor is not displayed in this case as well. I also changed the color for brightblue in my gnome-terminal profile to a different color but no matter the cursor wasnt displayed. I'll see if they have a bugreport in their bugzilla. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?13146 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Re: syntax include?
Original-Nachricht Datum: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 11:04:41 -0700 (PDT) Von: Curtis Doty [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: mc-devel@gnome.org Betreff: Re: syntax include? 10:57am Pavel Tsekov said: Would you mind sending the syntax file to the list ? I'm able to segfault with just the one include line above. But attached is a rough/first draft expect.syntax that works by duplicating the contents of tcl.syntax. There are a couple tweaks to the underlying tcl colors too. Uh... Obviously I didn't make it clear enough that I need the syntax file which makes MC crash so that I can see why the editor crashes. I made an expect.syntax which does include tcl.syntax but the editor doesn't crash it displays an error dialog box that there is an error on the line which contains the include directive. Could you please, post a file, which makes MC crash for you. In case that this file contains a single include directive - please, post a backtrace from gdb at the time of the crash. Thanks! -- Pt!

Original-Nachricht Datum: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 09:57:55 -0700 (PDT) Von: Curtis Doty Betreff: syntax include? I'm cooking up a little expect.syntax and it seems most parsimonius to try this at the top: include tcl.syntax And then just append the expect language colorings only. But alas my mc segfaults on this. Am I doing something wrong? Would you mind sending the syntax file to the list ? -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?

[patch #6073] Crash in browser on invalid mtimes
Follow-up Comment #10, patch #6073 (project mc): So, how shall we fix that ? Just mimic the `ls' behaviour or print something meaningful ? I think printing the numeric value isn't the best solution since 64 bit value can display pretty big numbers and printing that out would definitely mess the screen. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6073 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
[bug #20182] enter vfs with cmdline buffer
Follow-up Comment #3, bug #20182 (project mc): do_cd() needs a vfs path to enter into archives or connect to ftp or ssh servers. So, if you press Ctrl+PgDn on a, say, .zip file, you need to: a) determine the file type (as regex_open() does) b) translate the path to vfs path c) pass the vfs path to do_cd() Maybe regex_open() can be modified so that it will recognize a new action which will make it return the vfs path for a given path ... or something like that. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20182 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
