Introduction

Topic Goals

This page primarily indexes local wiki pages that aggregate information relating to attempts to build and deploy free software to the OpenServer 5.0.7 platform. While these pages will document successes, it is intended to also show issues, workarounds, and even failures to deploy projects to the platform.

FTP Site

A corresponding FTP site related to these pages exists to grant access to resources related to the free software project experiences documented on this wiki.

• ftp.bulgrien.net

  The server allows anonymous connections, but login details deviate from what is sometimes expected:

  User Name: anonymous@domain

  Password: any non-blank

  If a domain is not included, expect an error response like:

  421 Can't change directory to /var/ftp/ error message.
