Description
Gentoo's Midnight Commander 4.6.1 came with the following hack. I would be nice to have this implented as real feature as I really don't want to carry this around anymore (as gentoo's mc maintainer).
Instructions printed after package installation:
"Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc to"
"allow mc to chdir to its latest working dir at exit"
"# Midnight Commander chdir enhancement"
"if [ -f /usr/share/mc/mc.gentoo ]; then"
". /usr/share/mc/mc.gentoo"
"fi"
Attaching the mc.gentoo file for reference.

Nevermind, it's actually already a feature. Make the package to install a simple /etc/profile.d/ file:
ssuominen@unique ~/gentoo-x86/media-sound/kid3 $ cat /etc/profile.d/mc-chdir.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ /usr/libexec/mc/mc.sh ]; then
. /usr/libexec/mc/mc.sh
fi
so user doesn't need to do anything by hand.

We've been shipping shell wrappers in contrib for a long time for bash / ksh / zsh / csh. I think that it's the job of users and/or distro maintainers to activate those if they want to (i.e. as far as I know, Fedora people seem to be doing it by default?), and there isn't much we could/should do in addition to that on our side.
