LinM is a good UTF-8 compatible replacement for mc. Homepage: http://wiki.kldp.org/wiki.php/%C3%D6%C0%BA%BC%AD ebuild is taken from here: http://kldp.net/frs/download.php/4592/linm-0.8.1.ebuild

- Don't inherit eclasses you never use. - GPL is not a valid license reference, see /usr/portage/licenses - Don't hardcode the version in the ebuild as you did in $SRC_URI - You tested on all keyworded architectures? - Usually gettext is only needed at build-, not runtime. - Remove src_unpack(), Portage does it for you. You may have to adjust $S, though. - The build script is a custom one, so $(use_enable foo) can't be used? - A single local variable instead *conf would be preferable. Last but not least: Do you think you hook someone with such an extra short bug title?
Dear Carsten, I'm not author of this ebuild, I thought this is obvious from package description. I just reposted it from the official site of LinM: it works for me, thus may be usefull for another people. Anyway, on the second thought, if I submitted this ebuild, I became responsible for its QA, so I will follow your suggestions. > You tested on all keyworded architectures? I peronally tested on x86 and amd64, but I assumed that linm developers (who created the original ebuild and there are quite big bunch of them) tested it on all declared architectures. Well, currently I change the keywords to ~x86 and ~amd64. > Usually gettext is only needed at build-, not runtime. This program is an exeption: it uses gettext-like format in it's config files, so it use gettext during config files parsing. > The build script is a custom one, so $(use_enable foo) can't be used? It can and will be used with an exception: use ssl => --enable-sftp. All another remarks were fixed too. > Do you think you hook someone with such an extra short bug title? Well, do you have a better idea for new ebuild bug title? Detailed description is in Description field. However, you just proved that it may attract people by its peculiarity: your feedback was very fast. There some of my rather good bugreports or patches which are silently ignored for a lot of weeks. (No offence: I understand, developers are busy and people are free to do what they want here.)

Upstream stalled a long, long time ago, and in the meantime Midnight Commander received decent UTF-8 support. Is there anyone still interested in adding this to the tree? If not, I shall close this bug as WONTFIX in 30 days.
I have no interest. It was needed only why mc was almost dead and without UTF-8.
