    3 While normally binaries are provided by distributions who choose to ship mc along with their packages, we do provide binaries for several most popular distributions. However, please be warned, that we '''do not offer any support''' for these. If you encounter any problems, you are generally going to be asked to rebuild the sources from current git master and check whether the problem is already fixed or not. Another rule of thumb is to always use search before opening new tickets.

     9You can track the package development [http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mc.html here].

     13We host a PPA, containing latest rebuild of the official Debian package for all currently supported Ubuntu series: 
    614 
    715https://launchpad.net/~zaytsev/+archive/ppa 
    816 
     17This PPA also contains pre-patched '''vte''' package to fix the cursor bug in vte-based terminal emulators. 
     18 
     19To use the packages provided by the PPA, install the signing key first: 
     20 
     21{{{ 
     22sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F82FBD49 
     23}}} 
     24 
     25Then add the corresponding lines to your '''/etc/apt/sources.list''', replacing '''YOUR_DISTRO''' with the corresponding release name (hardy, intrepid, etc.): 
     26 
     27{{{ 
     28deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zaytsev/ppa/ubuntu YOUR_DISTRO main  
     29deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zaytsev/ppa/ubuntu YOUR_DISTRO main  
     30}}} 
     31 
     32and perform a system upgrade: 
     33 
     34{{{ 
     35sudo apt-get update 
     36sudo apt-get upgrade 
     37}}} 
     38 
     39In case you need support with the package, please use mc-devel mailing list.

    941== Redhat-based distros ==

     43The very same machine that is currently being used as a buildhost for nightly builds also provides release builds for all currently supported Redhat distributions. Be warned, however, that these builds possible do not offer the same stability that is expected from distro builds, so please encourage the acceptance of the new versions of mc in the distribution in the first place.

     45The installation is identical to the process, described on the NightlyBuilds page with the notable exception, that you will have to use '''mc-releases-el.repo''' and '''mc-releases-fc.repo''' respectively instead. 
     46 
     47== Other distributions == 
     48 
     49We are not aware of any other builds at the moment.
