Thanks, I did not know about this. Is this documented anywhere? How are the results collected? I notice that there is an absence for the Linux operating system but as 3/4 of the resources are from Windows user, the Windows client is obviously more important. Laurence On 16/10/17 10:47,

Re: [boinc_dev] release 7.8.3?

Berkeley has outsourced the distribution of Linux clients to the package maintainers for individual distributions, for several years now. The latest versions endorsed by Berkeley and offered on  http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php are: Recommended version: 7.2.42 (28 February 2014)

Re: [boinc_dev] [boinc_alpha] release 7.8.3?

None from me either. The only showstopper is in the Spanish language translation - perhaps we should warn about that in the release announcement. On Sunday, 15 October 2017, 23:51, Jord van der Elst wrote: Non from me. On Monday, October 16, 2017, David Anderson

Re: [boinc_dev] release 7.8.3?

Start here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/index.php There's an absence of Linux entries, because we do not have a 7.8.3 available for testing 'from Berkeley', but only via people like Gianfranco from his personal PPA. If he (or you) were to request that the people testing that version would add

Re: [boinc_dev] release 7.8.3?

Laurence, the test number comes from https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/test_summary.php with no red reports at all: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/test_details.php?version=7.8.3 The only (major) problem still there is for the Spanish person, but I think that's either a missing character and thus

Re: [boinc_dev] release 7.8.3?

Our policy for a long time was: - provide a .sea release (including manager) for current Ubuntu/x86,   with no effort to make it run anywhere else. - provide a client-only (no manager) release built on an old Linux system,   everything static, for maximum compatibility.   We have a

[boinc_dev] Mac OS 10.14 will not support 32-bit apps

It has been brought to my attention that mac OS 10.13 High Sierra is the last which will support 32-bit apps. I will build and release an all 64-it version of BOINC for the Mac soon, but this also means that any 32-bit project executables (both worker apps and graphics apps) will need to be

[boinc_dev] translations out of date

Many of the translations (e.g. the web-site translations in html/languages/*.po) are out of date and I don't know how to update them. The document for this: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AdminLocalize is very incomplete. It should be a cookbook for someone in my position. -- David
