The first task was to fix the program. Scott and I are now working out
a plan to get the 1 affected exponents back in the queue. That
should happen sometime over the next few days.
There should be a slight uptick in double-check assignments that go out.
Unfortunately, the server cannot contact the v17 clients and tell them to
ditch their current assignments and get new ones. So only those that
are running low on work will get double-check assignments.
Would I be right in assuming that Primenet keeps track of which version was
used to check in a certain result?
If so, what about folks that manually check in numbers? Does one of those
numbers besides the residue indicate version?
And once all suspect results are identified, those exponents will be removed
so they can be retrieved as LL tests rather than double-checks...yes?
Otherwise, double-checking will take a while to get up to those numbers
since the current range of double-checks being passed out are in the 2^2.6M
range...
And finally, is there a plan to send an email notice to everyone? We on
this list found out, but alot of folks are probably running the software but
aren't on the list...I know I was for quite some time. They might like to
know that their current test needs to be restarted right away.
I'm just full of questions... :-) Fortunately (?) they're turning off our
building power this weekend so I was going to have to work on all my
machines anyway...
