hello, i believe repodata of aix linux toolbox http://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ is incomplete/stale as i do see (and am able to install) midnight commander but doing

yum list available | grep -e mc -e midnight

gives me no relevant results (only libXdmcp).

same goes when doing:

zcat *xml.gz | grep '<name>' | grep mc

in repodata directory. there may be more missing packages as yum list available | wc -l outputs 297 packages, but there's 345 directories in RPMS/ppc. thanks for checking, jose

Summary     : A user-friendly file manager and visual shell.
Description :
Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager, only
with many more features.  It is a text mode application, but it also
includes mouse support if you are running GPM. Midnight Commander's
coolest features are its abilities to FTP, view tar and zip files, and
to poke into RPMs for specific files.

Best regards

Joerg

We retired some of older rpm packages from the AIX Toolbox website http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html#M

So, mostly whatever is available in the toolbox webpage is also available through the YUM.

However we kept them with ftp server if someone still wants use the older rpm packages.. For example mc in your case.

But not all rpm packages which are in ftp server be available through YUM.

Thanks,

Hi Juerg,

sure, but I am not complaining about its presence. What happens if you - after setting up the repository - do yum search mc or yum search midnight? Will yum find it?
