Description Raymond Jennings 2009-12-14 14:45:24 UTC
MC has a new version 4.7.0-pre4 at http://www.midnight-commander.org/downloads

Also, http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1669 points to an upstream fix http://www.midnight-commander.org/changeset/e5abe33fc6485663807e3884c717dde51fa3e51b that might be desirable as a patch to the current gentoo version.

The current version appears to have the bug cited in the upstream support ticket.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  mcedit any file
2.  Type a tab
3.  Enter

Actual Results:  
No autoindent

Expected Results:  
Autoindent

Upstream apparently committed a fix for this in response to a support ticket 2 months ago.  Current gentoo version seems to be a victim of this, and also may need a version bump.

Silly me.  Don't report two issues in one bug report.

"Latest released version: 4.7.0-pre4."

[ebuild   R   ] app-misc/mc-4.7.0_pre4  USE="X edit gpm nls -samba -slang" 0 kB

It's been in Portage about 2 months now. I'm not sure what you are requesting.
Comment 3 Raymond Jennings 2009-12-20 15:22:59 UTC
It seems that version is masked by ~x86.  Which strangely enough about 2 hours before seeing your post I figured I should have checked.

Lemme tinker with package.keywords and I'll test it out.

If it passes the test I'll change this to stablereq.
Comment 4 Raymond Jennings 2009-12-20 15:31:38 UTC
Test passed.

I guess this is now a request to remove the ~x86 keyword from the pre4 version.
Comment 5 Raymond Jennings 2009-12-20 15:36:10 UTC
Particularly since the new version has a bugfix.
Comment 6 Alex Alexander (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-23 17:26:42 UTC
archs, please test and mark 
app-misc/mc-4.7.0_pre4
stable

it has been in ~testing for almost two months, most changes are bug fixes.
Comment 7 Alex Alexander (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-26 13:57:38 UTC
Im gonna cancel this stabilization request, 4.7.0 final was released with more bug fixes, I'll do some testing then request that version to be stabilized, no need to add extra work for archs :)
