Installing GCC: Configuration

The multilib (alien’s) gcc will pass the --hash-style=gnu option to the linker for all final links.

Note

The slackware-current gcc is not configured with the option --with-linker-hash-style=choice.

rsync over TLS

rsync does by itself not support TLS, but we can simply outsource TLS handling
to the openssl s_client. The rsync authors have made a short script to do
exactly that. This is how you use it to get a listing from our server:

wget https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/openssl-rsync
chmod +x openssl-rsync
rsync --rsh=./openssl-rsync rsync://mirrors.dotsrc.org

It is wise to read the script before executing it blindly.

Aalborg University

The university is one of our oldest supports. Since the beginning they have
been providing us housing for the servers and backup.

This is just a short list of things the university has provided:

  • Housing
  • Backup
  • A new news server
  • A new mirror server
  • Switches
  • Server rack
  • Cables, converters, all kinds of small indispensable things.
  • Generally being extremely nice people
