The rebuilt packages are now in testing for x86_64. The i686 ones will be 
there tomorrow.  If I missed a package and you get assigned the bug 
report, add me to the assignees.  I'll do the rebuild.

I just rebuilt brltty. I didn't want to take any chance especially since 
I've done major changes to mc and don't really know how to test that 
accessibility stuff.

Can one of the admin (Aaron?) create the directory? Eliott quit and Simo 
removed himself from the assignees.

- I've improved the utf8 support so it will replace the mc-utf8 package 
in community. That should close  FS#5078.
- I've applied several patches from Gentoo that seemed to be useful. They 
will fix FS#6397 among other bugs.
- I 've enabled samba support and other configure switches (FS#7553)
- BTW, I haven't tested it extensively as I don't use mc or UTF8. So it 
might be nice if someone can test it more. I've posted comments in AUR and 
in the bug reports to get input and testing from users.

Patchset has been updated.

I plan keeping these package in testing for 1-2 weeks to make sure 
everything has been rebuilt and because of the major changes to mc. When 
I'll think it will be ready to move out of testing, I'll post the signoff 
thread for gpm and the other rebuilt core packages.

Thanks,
Eric
