Re: ipv6 in mc

[Kevin Wilson <wkevils gmail com>]

Yuri,
Thanks for your answer.
I did try with square brackets and when trying with a remote machine
it gave an error. When you talk about "master branch" I suppose
you are talking about the git tree. Could it be that it is not included
in  mc-4.7.5.2-1 in the Fedora I have ?
In fact, I don't mind to download and build the git tree if I know for
sure it is there,
rgs,
Kevin
