Oh, as a matter of fact, I had a faint suspicion that we've already had 
this conversation... now all that is left is to somehow inflict it on the 
Fedora maintainers ;-)

Hi Yuri.

Woops, copy paste mistake. I used a previous mail announcement.
MC is compiled with --with-x since 4.8.17, as you already asked me :)

It would be great if you could try to rebuild --with-x and libX11-devel as 
a build dependency (no other changes are needed). This allows mc to use 
X11 to detect some key modifiers if running inside graphical terminal 
emulators (i.e. Meta + Enter).


I'm not quite sure why Fedora people have turned this off. Maybe they 
simply don't understand what it does and believe that this will introduce 
an install-time / run-time dependency on X11. That is not the case, mc 
will be able to install and run without X11 just as before, only in 
addition it will also dynamically load X11 libraries and use them if they 
are available.


Thanks for your packages!

Hi Yuri, all.

First, thanks to all of you for that release.

I’ve updated « my » packages on OpenSuSe Build Service to 4.8.18 
for the following distros:

CentOS and Scientific Linux 6 i586 and x86_64.
CentOS and Scientific Linux 7 x86_64.
Fedora 23, 24, i586 and x86_64.
Fedora 20, 21 and 22 packages will be build anymore as these versions
are EOL’ed.
I will update MC wiki about it.

I’ve used official tar.xz package, and mc was built with the 
following options:
--with-screen=slang \
--enable-charset \
--without-x \
--with-gpm-mouse \
--disable-rpath \
--enable-vfs-smb \
--enable-vfs-sftp \
--enable-aspell

You can get packages here:

Thanks,
