the GNU packages that I need most seriously on my Synology NAS
CAVEAT: In 2017 I started using opkg (Entware-NG) instead of ipkg (optware). This document may not be updated entirely to reflect the new circumstances. https://wiki.jochen.hayek.name/w/index.php?title=Synology_DSM – better use and maintain that article instead of this one theses are the GNU packages I seriously need on my Synology NAS (there is actually more than one …):…

(cross) development toolchain for the Synology DiskStations (DS213+, DS112+, …) – which CPUs do they use?
The gcc supplied by ipkg (for this model) is an ancient 3.4.6, apparently so outdated, that you cannot configure and compile “current” sources, at least neither a current rsync nor a current gcc. I guess I should go for Synology’s own toolchain for the DS213+. Where do they supply that? At www.synology.com > Support >…

the IPKG optware development toolchain for Synology DiskStations
http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Overview_on_modifying_the_Synology_Server,_bootstrap,_ipkg_etc Recently I found IPKG actually got abandoned, and the IPKG Perl on one of my Synology DiskStations wasn’t really functional at all (some broken dependency on a library to be loaded dynamically). That really frustrated me for a short period. Now I installed the IPKG optware-devel (compilation toolchain) and esp. gcc. Downloaded rsync sources, proceeded…

“rsync over ssh” to a Synology NAS – IPKG, opkg
Nota Bene / before: This is the text, that helps me personally re-installing rsync, whenever it magically disappears, maybe caused by an DSM update. True, I should bring a little structure into this article. I never ever care about rsyncd, as I am doing “rsync over ssh”; any activity suggested regarding rsyncd does not concern me.…

forum.synology.com/wiki http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Overview_on_modifying_the_Synology_Server,_bootstrap,_ipkg_etc www.synology-wiki.de – there is actually also a German wiki www.synology-wiki.de/index.php/IPKG – that’s where and how I got hold on the alternative rsync – once “IPKG” is successfully set up, “ipkg install rsync” will do what it says http://www.synology-forum.de http://www.synology-forum.de/forumdisplay.html?157-Router-RT1900ac https://SynoCommunity.com – are the packages a little outdated?!? https://github.com/SynoCommunity Update 2016-01-27: This article tells you what to do:…
