Name : boinc-client Product : Fedora 8 Version : 6.2.15 Release : 2.20080818svn.fc8 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 s...@home, einst...@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: - Fix usage of $BOINCDIR in the init script -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Dec 13 2008 Milos Jakubicek <xja...@fi.muni.cz> - 6.2.15-2.20080818svn - Fix usage of $BOINCDIR in the init script * Tue Aug 19 2008 Milos Jakubicek <xja...@fi.muni.cz> - 6.2.15-1.20080818svn - Update to 6.2.15 - Removed the 'noexec' script (fixed upstream) - Removed boinc-gcc43.patch and boinc-parsecolor.patch (both merged upstream) - Updated boinc-gccflags.patch - Sources now compressed as tar.bz2 (was tar.gz) * Mon Aug 4 2008 Milos Jakubicek <xja...@fi.muni.cz> - 5.10.45-15.20080315svn - Fixed return value when managing the daemon with insufficient rights to 4 according to the guidelines. - There is now a delay up to 10 seconds when starting the service to check that it is up. - Fixed boinc platform on PPC/PPC64. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
