[bug #7936] UTF-8 locales not supported

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #7936 (project mc):

Non-support of UTF-8 is a real problem for many server administrators. MC is
the only capable text based file manager available for server administration
over remote terminal access. Using the reduced character set mode ( mc -a )
is definitely a sub-optimal solution. It would be very helpful is this issue
gets fixed.

Sorry, the Fedora URL was meant to be
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/
check the directory listing for the exact filename.

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/src/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/mc-4.6.1a-28.fc6.src.rpm
Download the mc-*.src.rpm file, press Enter on it in mc, you'll see the
source and patches, as well as the order in which the patches should be
applied are listed in the mc.spec file.

Further patches can be found here:
https://svn.uhulinux.hu/packages/2.0/mc/patches/
these apply to mc 4.6.1, should be applied in numerical order, the utf8
related patches are numbered as 00-*.

Note that you need either slang 2, or a patched version of slang 1.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #7936 (project mc):

I've been using SuSE's mc for a year, dealing with files with non-ASCII
characters (even CJK), as well as editing them and introducing these
characters myself, without ever having a single problem.

Can somebody post a link to the patches of SuSE or Fedora? I could try to
apply them myself if I'm going to compile mc from source.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #7936 (project mc):

I saw the UTF-8 problem addressed for the 4.7 branch, which probably is not
to be expected in the really "near future". Since for multi-language
requirements (German, English, Russian, Hebrew) I am depending on the UTF-8
environment, I would be more happy to see at least the filenames and editor
issues addressed earlier (I can live with the English localization of the
menus etc ;)
As Egmont already wrote almost a year ago: There are patches available with
the sources from Fedora and SuSE. For an experienced programmer, hence, it
should not be too difficult to apply them?
