mc.spec

[Pavel Roskin <proski gnu org>]

Hello, Andrew!

Why did you add mc.charsets to mc.spec?  The rpm build is not using 
charset support.  In fact, I cannot rebuild the rpm package now.  Even 
using %configfile(missingok) doesn't work (I'm using rpm 4.0.4).  I don't 
want to try %ghost, because it's probably not what you meant.  For an 
explanation of ghost, see 
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/advanced.html

What is the problem you are trying to solve?  Maybe you don't want those
who enable charset support to forget about mc.charsets?

I can include all files matching %{_prefix}/lib/mc/*, but not all of them
are config files.  In fact, RedHat thinks that it's not config files.  
The source rpm for 4.5.55 from RedHat 7.3 doesn't use %config for the
files in %{_prefix}/lib/mc/.  Just because something can be tweaked, it
doesn't mean it has to be preserved on upgrade.

Staying on topic of mc.spec, maybe we should compile mc with ncurses to 
avoid double dependency on both slang (directly) and ncurses (through 
libgpm).
