Hi, Vladimir Nadvornik has made available a few patches to complete / fix the utf-8 patches for the midnight commander at http://www.suse.de/~nadvornik/mc.html . The largest of these (utf8-input patch) does not entirely patch against FC1's mc, but please have a look anyway. It's probably not too hard to fix these rejects. Vladimir also helped me fix one and a half issue (hotkey binding / ampersand badness) with a very simple patch which is inlined in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120735 . How about the Red Hat patches for mc? Will these be merged with upstream before mc-4.6.1? Maybe it's a good idea to join efforts. Vladimir will work on the patches in a couple of weeks. Finally a remark on a couple of other mc issues in bugzilla. The issues below have attached patches and/or are easy fixes and IMO should be included in the next update of mc for FC1 and FC2. Also see http://www.ottolander.nl/bughunt/index.php?package=mc for reference.
