Is there a way to reassign ports to the client? At this time I am running two instances of BOINC on one machine (one native Linux thread and on emulated Windows thread under wine). As both use different TCP ports, everything works well so far. I intented to upgrade the Linux client (4.19 right now) to a more recent one (5.x). This results in conflicts.

In later versions (can't remember which version it got added in), there is a command line option that you can add to set the port it listens on: -gui_rpc_port xxx ID: 2663 ·

Sorry, I don't know when the 5.3 version will be released to the public. Essentially, never. the odd number in the middle shows it to be an alpha/beta version. So the next release coming from it would be a next 5.2 or 5.4 ;) Yet we're testing the versions. Trying to get a lot of the bugs out. ID: 3121 ·
