Posted 4 Apr 2008 by Milos Jakubicek Post:
Hi, this has been caused by Koji (the Fedora Build System), which is set to export i386-pc-linux-gnu. I've overridden it in the configure, so it should be fixed now. An update is pending in the updates-testing repository for both F-7/F-8, or you can download the RPMs from Koji to test them: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=44887 (F-7) http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=44886 (F-8) Please if it works for you set a +1 in the updates system, as soon as it will reach karma +3 it will be pushed into the stable repository (or after pending 14 days): https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/pending/boinc-client-5.10.45-5.20080315svn.fc8 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/pending/boinc-client-5.10.45-5.20080315svn.fc7 In case of any troubles just mail me...or there is also bugzilla.redhat.com:) Regards, Milos |

Posted 19 Feb 2008 by Milos Jakubicek Post: Hi folks, what should be the BOINC description when making a RPM package of the client? Right now it is: "The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a software platform for distributed computing: several initiatives of various scientific disciplines all compete for the idle time of desktop computers. The BOINC core client program is required to participate in any project that uses BOINC. A central server distributes work units and collects results via this client. When attaching a local machine to a project, it will also dynamically download the project's application program to be then wrapped by the BOINC core client." I found also a short variant: "This software allows your computer to participate in distributed computing projects that are based on BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing)." And Eric Myers suggests: "The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is an open- source software platform which supports distributed computing, primarily in the form of "volunteer" computing and "desktop Grid" computing. It is well suited for problems which are often described as "trivially parallel". BOINC is the underlying software used by projects such as SETI@home, Einstein@Home, ClimatePrediciton.net, the World Community Grid, and many other distributed computing projects. This package installs the BOINC client software, which will allow your computer to participate in one or more BOINC projects, using your spare computer time to search for cures for diseases, model protein folding, study global warming, discover sources of gravitational waves, and many other types of scientific and mathematical research." It's up to you! I just want to know... Thanks, Milos Jakubicek |
