Description

Package name

Worker

Package homepage

http://www.boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/

Description

Worker is a "GNU General Public License V2 or later" two independent pane file manager. It comes with full keyboard control, history, VFS support, live filtering, text viewer, file search, bookmarks, volume manager, breadcrumb navigation, virtual directories, compare directories and more...

I consider it one of the very few acceptable alternatives for those who are accustomed to SpaceFM that it would need some fixing now but is no longer maintained upstream: https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/issues/800

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System, Compiled

Is the requested package released?

Yes

Research direction

Start by checking whether the Worker homepage and released source are still available, then review Void's requirements for system-compiled packages. Confirm that the request is still relevant and identify the repository's package structure before starting. Done means Worker is packaged according to those requirements and can be built successfully.
