I see that there's both a distribfold and a linux-foldingathome in the
ports. The contents of pkg-descr say that distribfold is for
distributedfolding.org, but that doesn't seem accurate any longer, as
that domain appears to currently belong to a domain squatter. Is
distribfold a FreeBSD-native [EMAIL PROTECTED] client, or something else
entirely?
More details would be appreciated.
It's something else entirely. If you notice, the latest release that is
fetched by the port is 0.1.20040613 .. several years old, and the
project is now defunct anyway. [EMAIL PROTECTED] has its origins at Stanford
University at around 2001 and is maintained by a group called the "Pande
Group". Distributedfolding, however, was started by professor
(Christopher Hogue) at the University of Toronto in the same time
period. He's not listed as a current or previous member of the Pande
Group. You can see his announcement to the beowulf-announce list in
their archives:
