dar extension to Midnight Commander

« on: November 30, 2006, 11:43:53 PM »

Today I stumbled on to the follwoing post on the net, with an excellent attachement which makes it possible to view and extract part of dar (amongst other) files using Midnight Commander:

The download can be found here, instructions on how to install are in the file. The configuration files and the extfs directory can be found in /usr/bin/share.

If some linux guru can explain me how to enter configuration settings in to an existing configuration file using RPM's (offcourse with backing up a copy of the origianl) I will gladly roll (at least the dar extension) into an rpm for easy installation.

Submitted a request to implement it in to CentOS in their bug tracker.

Nice find

As soon as mirrors sync you'll find in my 7.x contrib area the following:

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/mc-dar.tar.gz

Simply download, extract and execute the included install.sh script to add dar support to Midnight Commander.
