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.

Yeah and that sounds good to me. Ionut, if you're still maintaining mc-colorer would you mind removing the u7z file?
