[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Sorry for misunderstanding I wasn't so clear. This bug is triggered (as Dave said) by moreinformative... patch. This patch has been removed upstream so no changes ubuntu1 is needed. I personally DON'T want to diverge brances of boinc from debian to ubuntu, the collaboration between those distros is so close, so I don't think we have to diverge. Patches can be accepted into debian if we find a patch here and maybe sent upstream (I have close collaboration with upstream developers too) The parse_error.patch has been a problem for me, since I build with a recipe boinc directly synced from steffen's git. For some reason quilt doesn't apply on bzr server correctly. I filed a bug against bzr https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bug/998889 So to everybody I personally think boinc can be backported until oneiric with no changes at all. I built it for oneiric, precise and quantal, so for now earlier backports can wait a little bit.

[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Steffen: Referring back to my earlier comment regarding SRU, to update the Precise package (and get the updated version into the precise-updates repository), an SRU request would need filing. I went and talked with one of the SRU team, and they would want a version to exist in the current development version (Quantal) that builds and runs. Then, with that version, it can be SRU'd to Precise. In short, Precise is in a sense 'frozen' on its current version (7.0.24+...) until a version exists that builds on Quantal (of which 7.0.27 does not). I should point out that while I am BugSquad, the decision on Precise updating is up to the SRU team and the MOTUs, neither of which I am. Ideally, though, a version needs to exist in Quantal that builds an runs before SRU-ing to Precise, except on very rare circumstances (summarization of what the SRU team member told me). Given that UDS will be going on today and tomorrow, I am not going to poke the MOTUs or the SRU team about this until tomorrow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 computation error bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Between you and I, I agree 7.0.27 should be in Precise. But the process for updating stable versions is complex, in that unless the fixes also exist in the latest development version, they will rarely push the stable release update. I ran into this with six other packages, so I speak from experience on this: when SRUing they prefer the fixes and the version that has fixes to be released in current dev release (Quantal) prior to the SRU. As a result, 7.0.27 needs to be able to build in Quantal first (which it currently does not).

I should point out, though, that since 7.0.26 is not packaged in Debian, they may not accept it, that's their decision. 7.0.27 is now in unstable. Just, the problem appearing with Ubuntu is not appearing on my machine, and if I am not erroneous then I had that patch in the version that was uploaded. Yes, it is in: dpkg-source: info: applying MoreInformativeAppStartFailure.patch as seen from the build logs. This was a bit stupid of mine, but I had not believed in the issue to be located in there at the time. What I can offer is to have yet another version uploaded to that does not have that patch included. I just saw that BOINC has an issue with gcc 4.7, so I need to address that anyway: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=boinc This you can then adopt directly for Precise. Would that be acceptable? If 7.0.27 will build in Quantal, this will save some time and effort. If it does not, then I'll take a look at Locutus' package of 7.0.26, and talk to the MOTUs to see if we can get that into Quantal (I'll do the uploading if necessary), and then see if we can't SRU that into Precise. The version currently shipping with Ubuntu has issues with NVidia cards with 2GB of memory. Since those cards will become increasingly popular, I strongly suggest to move away from 7.0.24.

I'd recommend you pull something out of my book in terms of your PPA(s): create a staging PPA for you to test your builds in, and then when you have a working one, you upload to the deployment PPA (the PPA the public should use). I find it useful for when you are constantly messing with packages to make em work. I do this for other projects in which I do packaging for them, and it prevents a lot of hassle when the community relies on a specific PPA. Just my two cents on that.

[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
As I said in my previous comment (#80 on this bug), the Precise repositories will not be updated with any updated packages without an SRU (Stable Release Update) being filed. That is outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Any updates pushed to the package at this point will be accepted for Quantal. Can you confirm that this package builds/runs in Quantal before I start messing around with the package in my test environments to remove the patch that is referreed to as the problem causer? I am including part of the email which was sent to the Bug Squad mailing list: There is a patch in the precise boinc package that make it run with a computation error with 2 or more project. See [1] After trying some time we figured out that the cause is the patch MoreInformativeAppStartFailure.patch taken from debian. The debian mantainer already knows this problem (I take boinc directly from debian's git) and disabled the affected patch. So what I asking for is to disable this patch in the ubuntu repo, or maybe sync the latest 7.0.27 version from my recipe https://code.launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+recipe/boinc-daily that fixes the problem for some GPU cards.

[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 computation error bug
Hi Steffen and Dave. 7.0.27 will be available in a few minutes for i386 and a 3-4 hours for amd64. I build it without parse_issues.patch since this patch has something wrong that make build fail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 computation error bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OT Steffen your .27 boinc doesn't build on quantal quetzal release, while .24 does, but now I have no time to look at which patch could be wrong, we are in the initial developing stadium, so there's time to make it work :) /OT -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991179 Title: 7.0.24 computation error bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/991179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
