Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-11-19 Severity: wishlist * Package name : mc-cvs Version : 2002-11-06-20 Upstream Author : mc team * URL : http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/ * License : GPL Description : development version of midnight commander
I was quite used to nc in my dos times, so mc is the main tool I use on my Debian system. Therefore I'm a bit worried that mc in Debian is in a really bad state: Last developer package: [2001-09-02] Installed mc 4.5.55-1 (i386 source) Last NMU: [2002-02-21] Installed mc 4.5.55-1.2 (i386 source) I have to admit that mc project has been dead for some time, but now it's now working and releasing new versions: Last version 4.6.0-pre1 (released August 21, 2002) Last snapshot: mc-2002-11-17-07.tar.gz Since 4.5.55 (Debian last release) MANY things happened. First of all support for gmc (which is now replaced by nautilus) was depreciated - so the gnome code was removed from upstream archive, and division to 3 differen packages (mc-common, mc, gmc) is no longer needed. There were also many code cleanups and fixes, and many bugs have been resolved. I've contacted mc DD's at [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 7 Nov - haven't got any reply yet - looks like there are MIA. So I decided to create my own package with new mc - first of all for my home use, but I consider uploading to Debian archive. I called it mc-cvs for now, but maybe mc-devel or mc-snapshot will be better...
