The latest MC version available at https://www.tataranovich.com/repository.html is 4.8.31. It's unlikely that MC 4.8.32 will appear here. It was 13 years journey since I initially wrote to Slava Zanko and proposed to maintain the latest MC packages for Debian. But for the last few years I realized that I'm no longer using nightly MC version and pretty happy with version provided by Debian.

However, I think that backports of the latest releases to all supported Debian/Ubuntu flavours are still very valuable. I don't use them anymore myself, but people get stuck with very unfortunate versions (see latest releases with broken mc.ext) forever due to distro backporting policies. Maybe someone could pick this up eventually... All the best, Yury > On 20.
