Hi,
Here is my first attempt to package the BOINC server for CentOS 7.
http://cern.ch/lfield/boinc-server-0.0.0-0.el7.cern.x86_64.rpm
The main issue is the filesystem layout should follow the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/>. At the moment many
commands fail as there are hard-coded assumptions regarding where files
are located. These can obviously be fixed but we probably need to come
to some common understanding before those are made. I have just opened
issue #2069 <https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/2069> where this
discussion can take place.
Anyone who is potentially interested in the CentOS 7 release (via EPEL)
should contact me and take a look at the package. Someone should also
try the same exercise for Debian and we should synchronize on the
locations and changes required. A far as I am aware, we do not need to
target any other Linux distributions but support the FHS should help
those too.
Regards,
Laurence
