[tor-relays] Need help to get TorDNSEL compiled

[BlueStar88]

Hey there,

this is addressed to the operators of the exitlist nameserver [1] at 'exitlist.torproject.org':


After more than one year (referring to the start of this thread) I made another try today to get that TorDNSEL thing compiled, but no success, still the same errors. I'm now using GHC 7.6.3-10 and the current source code from git repo.

Some days ago I hardened the torcheck-page at 'torcheck.xenobite.eu' using DNSSEC and DANE. But this makes only the half way sense, if the input information it gets from 'exitlist.torproject.org' wasn't securely transferred in the first place.

Since there's probably no way to get the exitlist subdomain (and the dynamic data below) served securely using DNSSEC, I'm again at the point to get TorDNSEL running on the checking host itself, or nearby.

The xenobite-check-page has 400-500 requests per hour, so there's at least some demand worth for improving this and I really like to do so.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me!
