Hi all,
I have just released 'prime-net' a Debian package for the latest
version of the GIMPS client: version 20.6.2. You are all welcome to give
it a try (assuming you are using Debian) and to send me bug reports,
suggestions for improvement, ... You will find it in Woody's
non-free/misc section. Otherwise you can download it from:
http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/misc/prime-net.html
or from my home page:
http://fgouget.free.fr/distributed/prime-net-en.shtml
My goal when making this package was to try to give a broad audience
to the GIMPS client and to make it very simple for Debian users to try
it. The package takes care of setting up the scripts for
starting/stopping the client on bootup/shutdown, rotating the logs, ...
If you search for prime-net on Debian's site you will notice that an
older version based on version 19.1 will be released as part of Potato,
the soon to be released Debian 2.2. The reason it's an older version is
that Potato has been frozen for such a long time. There's no reason to
use this old package since the latest one will work just as well on
Slink, Potato and Woody.
