[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

There are many outstanding issues with the package and hopefully we will be able to update it to 4.7.0.5 when it's out, then it will make its way to Ubuntu.

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

Blocking:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/525311
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/270524
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/541988
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/244716
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/367318

It will close at least the bugs above, possibly more.

Converted into a standard sync request

Thanks!

Hi,

Why do you think that the second delta (disable 05_disable_internal_editor.patch) can be dropped? If I read correctly the bug report, the request was to switch the default editor back to internal mc, by disabling the 05_ patch.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Yury V. Zaytsev (zyv)]

Fabrice,

The reason why the patch was dropped was that due to some weird circumstances, the user selected editor was not saved, so basically, there were no way of setting mcedit to be a default editor for mc. Right now (a) user selected editor is correctly saved and (b) on the first run the alternative system asks, whether the user wants to use mcedit or any other installed editor on F4, so I don't think there's a reason to keep this delta.

I am not sure how strict is the conformance of Ubuntu to the Debian Policy so you are free to drop the patch if for some reason you think that mcedit should be used by default.

Z.

Sync request ACKed
