What did you actually port ?

I've been using mc on IBM i for over a year and I believe it was a Perzl package already.

Gotta love good old Peter Norton for inventing that 😊

Open source is the *opposite* of "waiting for IBM to provide it". It's community.

Port something!

So far I've ported mc (which IBM is now distributing), Lynx and mkisfos.

My lynx port is not entirely complete (no https), but if you want to try it, add the following as

/QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d/the-i-doctor.repo

then
yum install lynx-dev

PS in the above, I meant "I ported mc and Jesse and Kevin helped a lot and we all learned, then the IBM team ported it, too, and is now distributing mc themselves."
