GCC Network/Server Upgrades - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

First, Cygnus has installed another T1 link to help with the ever increasing bandwidth requirements for hosting GCC and other open source projects. I believe the last bandwidth report indicated we were pumping 45+G for http and ftp access, another 1-2G for mailing lists and an unknown (but large) sum for CVS access.

Second, Cygnus (Jason Molenda in particular) installed a new server for the open source projects hosted at Cygnus. The old server had pegged out in the spring/early summer; Jason & I had been nursing it along until we had the new server ready.

The new server should have enough disk space, IO bandwidth & processing power to fill our expected needs for the next 18-24 months.

At some point in the future, the old server will be resurrected as a dedicated anonymous CVS server for Cygnus hosted open source projects. Additionally, we will also begin to establish anonymous CVS mirrors as host sites express interest and resource availability.

For questions related to the use of GCC, please consult these web pages and the GCC manuals. If that fails, the gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org mailing list might help. Comments on these web pages and the development of GCC are welcome on our developer list at gcc@gcc.gnu.org. All of our lists have public archives.
