Unfortunately, mc 4.8.20 was released only in half a year after May 2017 (November 2017), and it was not included in RHEL 8 (that's the main reason I was asking to make a release sooner). The version in RHEL/CentOS 8 has that annoying bug with not preserving timestamps. Egmont, is there a possibility to release an updated mc package for RHEL 8?

Hi Nerijus, Why in the world you would be asking Egmont about that :) ? In as far as I know, he's never worked for RH or maintained mc RPM packages. If you use RHEL, just open a support ticket, asking them to upgrade mc or backport the timestamp patch to mc 4.8.19... -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

I thought he was a Fedora mc package maintainer, but it seems I confused him with someone else, sorry! From yury at shurup.com Thu May 21 18:13:25 2020 From: yury at shurup.com (Yury V.

I see, maybe you confused Egmont with Jind?ich Nov?? He used to maintain mc in Fedora, but I don't know if he's active these days - haven't met him for many years :-( Anyways, your best bet would be to open a ticket in RH bugzilla - we can't help you here. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
