Right, and it has the following right under the summary: Location: * http://midnight-commander.org This is not a real bug tracker, this is just a record in Launchpad's database for the new bug tracker at m-c.o, so that Launchpad users can link to the bugs that are filled in Trac. Maybe the presentation is misleading, but that's something only Canonical has control over and all other projects are in the same situation. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

Re: Segfault when viewing HTML files with mc -v
Nikos, never mind, I had the same problems when first I wanted to create a ticket with some patches for bugfixes and new features. And do not be shocked about the security warning in the browser. The developers say it is meant to be this way. My impression is that this project is kind of dead anyway. Nobody ever really cared about my inquiries on this list or my well documented ticket #2742 on midnight-commander.org, even though I am offering major improvements for subshell support and worked my ass off to get the patches working in a way which might seem fit to be committed (I do not even speak C, so it was kinda hard for me, but this is my own problem, I am just mentioning it). I think that the honourable guys working in their spare time on this project just do not have enough of it to spend. So if you or anyone else on this list really knows how to write good C code and are interested in pushing this project forward, I think you should contact the core developers and offer your assistance. My abilities are too limited C-wise, so I think fresh blood needs to come from other directions. Sorry to the development team if this message might sound a bit polemic, I do not mean to insult anyone. It is always easier to talk than to act, I am aware of that. But I do think this project needs another structure in order to gain more momentum. What I can do to help I am offering here and now: I am a professional agile project management coach (http://scrum-master.de, sorry the page is in German). What spare time I have I can dedicate to setting up a Scrum or Kanban process for you guys if you are interested.

Yeah, I tried to find the bug tracker, but couldn't find it in the page I *thought* is MC's homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/mc/ It's at the top when googling midnight commander. Likewise, googling for midnight commander bug tracker gets you to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/mc-bugs which at the top of the page claims: New official bug tracker for Midnight Commander project but you can't file any bugs there. You guys might want to sort out all those different and spread out pages. (I did in the past sign up in the real bug tracker, but this isn't something I could have remembered years after.) Since segfault is serious bug, I created ticket myself: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2858. Please test that fix. Yep, that fixes it. ___ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel ___ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

If you were to contribute a paid-for wildcard SSL certificate the warning would of course go away. That's what you get for using free self-signed certificates.

Nobody ever really cared about my inquiries on this list or my well documented ticket #2742 on midnight-commander.org, even though I am offering major improvements for subshell support and worked my ass off to get the patches working in a way which might seem fit to be committed I see it from the ticket history that Slava accepted it at some point, but probably it was postponed until later and he never got back to it. If I were you, I would just post reminders from time to time, which always worked well for me. I'm sure it is not bad will... Sorry to the development team if this message might sound a bit polemic, I do not mean to insult anyone. I think it's not a process problem (anymore), but simply a workforce and communication problem. The core team is as small as 3 persons working on mc in their spare time plus a number of less frequent contributors. The core team is focused on architectural improvements and most urgent bugs, tickets come next... Worse even it's substantially harder for most of them to communicate in English, so tickets that require a lot of communication naturally get put off till later. I used to help with that in the past, but now I really can't make any more time for that, and some will even argue that I wasn't any good at it anyways. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

Some communication problems in non-native language exist, yes. But actually requirement for ticket is a guarantee that request/bugreport as ticket will be kept in Trac forever.
