Alternative open source packages in ACS

All the PASE packages are delivered by YUM - and it works great. The ACS interface even makes installation much easier. However not all open source is available in YUM.


It will be rather useful to have a "one-stop-shop" for all kind of open source installation- and not only PASE/YUM. Therefore it will be appreciated if the "list of open source" in ACS had an extra tab containing a list of "how-to" and/or links to "how-to" install software like i.e. "Kafka" or "Tomcat".

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). At this time, we do not have plans to enhance the ACS interface as you have suggested. Therefore, we have decided to Decline this Idea. However, here are a couple websites you may find helpful:
