/usr/libexec/mc/ext.d/misc.sh calls gplib for *.LIB files, which is not in the path. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ echo "test" > TEST.LIB 2. start mc 3. view TEST.LIB with F3 in mc
dev-embedded/gputils provides gplib Should it be mentioned in einfo, or installed via USE flag "complete"?
mc ext scripts require MANY external tools to fully work, and from my experience many if not most users only require a small fraction of them. For that reason, I do not see much point in making them even an optional dependency. As for einfo/optfeatures, I am hesitant. Such a curated list of packages would require constant maintenance and I am currently the last person (barely) standing among app-misc/mc maintainers. Perhaps it would make more sense to simply say something along the limes of "Midnight Commander extension scripts depend on many external tools, install them as needed"?
