Occasionally asked questions:

I can't access the ftp site. Mirrors? There are several sites which mirror the
free software ftp site. You can see the full list on the free software mirrors
list page.



What is your true name? sourceware.org. But I am also called cygwin.org,
coretoolchain.org, dwarfstd.org, elfutils.org, gcc.gnu.org, gnu.toolchain.dev,
systemtap.org, and valgrind.org. During the dot-com boom years I was called
sources.redhat.com and sourceware.cygnus.com.



How are the projects chosen? Can I host my free software project there?
Currently, we are pleased to be able to provide a home for various core
toolchain and development tool offerings and certain GNU Project packages such
as GCC, GDB, glibc, Binutils, and others. However, we currently only have the
capacity to host a limited number of projects.
So, while it doesn't hurt to ask if your project can be hosted here, we do have
to be selective in what we offer.
With luck, this will change soon, as we are contemplating increasing the
capacity of both the sourceware.org system and the internet connection that it
uses to communicate with the outside world.



I need an account on sourceware for git/svn/cvs write access to project XYZ? We
have an XYZ Project? Cool!
Ok, you need write access for a project hosted on Sourceware you say? Well,
first you'll need to have your request approved by the project maintainer(s).
Once they give their ok, you can use our handy dandy little form and we'll
process your request. This will provide you with an account on sourceware.org.
If, in the future, you want to contribute to the repository of another project
(remember that sourceware.org, cygwin.com and gcc.gnu.org share projects), have
a responsible party send email to the admin-requests mailing list at this site
requesting that you be added to the project. Do not fill this form out again.



Do you have a privacy statement for this site? Hey, why not.
We're not recording anything about you, short of the normal web logs which show
what pages are being downloaded by what host. We'd never use any of the mailing
list subscription information for anything other than the normal distribution of
e-mail to that list.

We are not out to get you.

Oh, from time to time we do generate some aggregate reports but those don't
identify you individually, so stop worrying.



A lot of the software here is compressed in the .bz2 format. What is that? bzip2
(".bz2") is a compression program similar to gzip (".gz"), but it produces much
smaller files than gzip. You can get the source for bzip2, or pre-built binaries
for most platforms, from the bzip2 home page. Most recent free software
distributions include bzip2, so you may already have it on your system.



Is it true that the first lunar landing was faked? Of course. Everyone knows
that. See the PBS documentary about it, Capricorn One.
