It's a bit early but it's the first usable version in years. Unicode support should be included with and without USE slang unlike in current one. .lzma and .tbz2 support etc., closed some dozen of bugs
Requires sys-devel/libtool-2, but neighter libtool-2.2.4 nor libtool-2.2.6a are stable at the moment. I've used 2.2.6a. One issue I have here on x86: # mc bash: /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh: command not found I had to link this directory to the actually used one, /usr/libexec/mc: # ln -s ../../libexec/mc /usr/share/mc/bin Now it's working. On ppc64: didn't compile at first. :-( Don't know what I changed, but it finally did compile. The x86-issue is not present on my ppc64 machine. The path /usr/share/mc/bin is not existant, it works anyway. Strange. I plea for quickly making stable. It really is the first usable version in years. It's just great!

Found the reason for "file not found": For my previous mc-4.6.1-r2 I had the Chdir Enhancement enabled: # less ~/.bashrc ... if [ -f /usr/share/mc/mc.gentoo ]; then . /usr/share/mc/mc.gentoo fi ... Since I didn't login once again, I had the file still sourced, which aliases mc to /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh BTW, where is this feature for this release? It seems to be gone. @stabilizing: as soon as libtool-2 becomes stable...
(In reply to comment #3) > BTW, where is this feature for this release? It seems to be gone. It's now here, http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1554 I started from empty table as current ebuild(s) was full of hacks I didn't want to carry around anymore.
It's not so hard really. Since it's still all there, you just need add the following line to your ~/.bashrc: . /usr/libexec/mc/mc.sh In order to make it safe, I did it like in app-misc/mc-4.6.1-r4 suggested: # cat ~/.bashrc ... # Midnight Commander chdir enhancement if [ -x /usr/libexec/mc/mc.sh ]; then . /usr/libexec/mc/mc.sh fi ... That's it. Works well.
Arch's, feel free to try this: rm -f m4/{libtool,lt*}.m4 || die "libtool fix failed" and dropping the need for libtool 2.x from deps it might work with libtool 1.x

I have problem to view bigger files - logs etc. If I press F3 to view and then PG DOWN or END, then CPU usage grow to 100%. Version mc-4.6.1-r4 working great.

Stable on alpha.

Stable for HPPA.

(In reply to comment #7) > Thanks, it's now USE chdir. Well, but the patch is copied into /etc/profile.d/mc-edit.sh, so that it affects only login-shell, unlike ~/.bashrc and /etc/bash/bashrc, which affects both login and interactive shells - that means this USE flag is right now useless for Konsole etc. I suggest moving this somehow into /etc/bash/bashrc... Workaround: # cat /etc/profile.d/mc-chdir.sh >>/etc/bash/bashrc
