Re: Spurious warning message when entering symlink directory (fwd)
Hello Christopher, Please, do not email me in private - use the mailing list. I am forwarding your message to the mc-devel list so we can continue the discussion there. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 18:15:14 +0200 From: Christopher Gautier To: Pavel Tsekov Subject: Re: Spurious warning message when entering symlink directory I couldn't reproduce it neither on Fedora Core 3 running latest cvs MC neither on Cygwin where I tried MC 4.6.1. I tried to enter 'bar' by hitting enter when the cursor was over it and by issuing 'cd bar' in the command prompt widget. I'm surprised. I've seen this bug countless times for 3 years on RedHat (3 years ago) and Debian (these days). I tried the 4.6.1 version (that is, the non-debianized, non-redhatized), and it was still there. I admit I didn't try the CVS. My patch consists in resolving symlinks before doing a strcmp, so there may be a real problem, or I am missing some key factor that would be trigger the bug. Maybe the terminal (aterm), the shell (zsh), the environment, or the locale intervene... I guess I'll have to patch my own mc and live with it...

I did not see what you see. I guess I'll have to patch my own mc and live with it... Don't get me wrong - I didn't say that your patch is not good. It may well make perfect sense. ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

It may well make perfect sense. No problem, I didn't meant to imply such thing :) Yet, I understand that there is no need to patch the upstream source if I am the only user who experiences this annoyance. Maybe by signaling it, some other users will react. I'm really at loss at what may trigger it... Cheers, Christopher ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
