    Hi,

     

    the old Toolbox had the Midnight Commander in the repository which was dropped in 2017. Our collegues are still using the tool but we have to take the one from perzl (ftp://www.oss4aix.org/RPMS/mc/)

    This works fine but is causing some troubles when using yum for installation management because all other packages are from the original toolbox. No

     

    So it would be cool if You could bring it back to the official AIX toolbox in the near future.

     

    In this older post "sanket" wrote that You would look into it and maybe add it to Your package list again - that was in 2017: Oops

    MC is a great tool for people who need a good filemanager but also a good editor/viewer for people who can't/won't use vi. Let's help those people Laughing

     

    Thanks

    Martin
