Name : boinc-client Product : Fedora 15 Version : 6.12.35 Release : 1.r24014svn.fc15 URL : http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Summary : The BOINC client core Description : 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 6.12 (BZ#719875), see changelog at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VersionHistory - Fix CPU scheduling of Boinc tasks (BZ#70544) - Fix client-manager communication caused by overlapping arguments in strcpy() (BZ#690333) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Aug 19 2011 Miloš Jakubíček <[email protected]> - 6.12.35-1.r24014svn - Update to 6.12 branch (fix BZ#719875, BZ#690333) - Dropped boinc-gui-rpc-port.patch (merged upstream) - Added BR: libnotify-devel, xcb-util-devel - Added boinc-libnotify.patch to build with libnotify >= 0.7 - Added boinc-manager-Makefile.patch to fix Makefile indentation error - Now shipping also BOINC screensaver - Added BOINC Client translation files - Fixed scheduling problems related to cgroups (BZ#705444) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #719875 - Boinc-client need to be updated https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719875 [ 2 ] Bug #690333 - Badly formatted account manager requests https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690333 [ 3 ] Bug #705444 - BOINC client does not correctly obey nice level https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705444 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
