Perhaps we should just drop the newer version of u7z from p7zip if it's going to conflict with every mc-based package out there.

mc from extra is removing that file from the package. maybe we can do that this here too?

Probably, I just didn't know if it's worthwhile. There's a lot of mc-based packages between extra, community and the AUR. I don't really use mc these days so I don't whether the 'new' version of u7z included with p7zip is enough to warrant the hassle or whether we just send it to /dev/null.

your call.
Comment by Dan Griffiths (Ghost1227) - Sunday, 07 March 2010, 02:54 GMT
I made the call to pull u7z from the mc package because the included file is several versions behind the one included in p7zip.
Comment by Thayer Williams (thayer) - Sunday, 07 March 2010, 03:31 GMT
Yeah and that sounds good to me. Ionut, if you're still maintaining mc-colorer would you mind removing the u7z file?
