I'll happily accept patches for both proposals, of course. However, amd64 isn't a niche arch and therefore should be supported by all major BOINC proejcts, IMHO. Robert, did you asked on the CPDN forum for amd64 binaries? > I do agree that it would be nice to have a packaged binary client for > all (or most) architectures. Seti is good. Thanks, Frank :-) Marc, did you tried to compile the boinc-app-seti package on your amd64? I'm curious if it compiles on amd64 without errors. Grüße, Frank -- ,''`. Frank S.
