The development of our packages is now coordinated in Git repositories. Some older interesting code may possibly still be found in the previous Subversion repository, but those are definitely now obsolete. See [[BOINC/Development/GitUsage]] for details and a tutorial on how to contribute to it. The development of our packages is now coordinated in Git repositories. For a tutorial on how to build the boinc packages follow the [[BOINC/Development/GitUsage]] pages. This starts with the checkout of the source code and truly ends with the packages how they are also uploaded to the distribution. The instructions may appeal also to those with some interest in git usage alone. As an extension, see [[BOINC/Development/Backports]] with instructions how to port back to older distributions.

Resources for Debian BOINC Maintainers

The purpose of this page is to provide resources to aid members of the Debian BOINC maintenance team in packaging BOINC and related software.

Using pkg-boinc's VCS repositories

We are steadily following upstream's releases. Below the ToDo lists of the packaging branches:

Bookmarks for BOINC in Debian

Upstream resources for packagers

Packages for other operating systems

Fedora

BOINC: Package Database,CVS

FreeBSD

BOINC: boinc-client port, CVS

SETI@home Enhanced: boinc-setiathome-enhanced port,CVS

Gentoo

BOINC: Portage,CVS

SETI@home: Portage,CVS

NetBSD

BOINC: pkgsrc.se boinc-client,boinc-lib

Ubuntu

BOINC: packages.u.c,Launchpad

SETI@home: packages.u.c,Launchpad

Source repositories of BOINC applications

Einstein@Home

upstream has working Debian packages for internal use

SETI@home

available as boinc-app-seti and works nicely

MilkyWay@home

available as boinc-app-milkyway, may work or not, needs new maintainer

SZTAKI prepared an infrastructure to run arbitrary jobs on BOINC in sync with regular Computational Grids. For that, they have also prepared Debian packages for the BOINC servers. The efforts were never merged.
