Here the PKGBUILD for the boinc program. Boinc is explained at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/. This program helps science progressing by giving of your CPU idle time. It would be cool if we create a team archlinux

I have those file on my server (not always open thought) @ http://drynish.homelinux.org/PKGBUILD/boinc

Well, a seti group already exists. Check the newsletter and you'll see the current stats of the group. I don't know much about the project and I also don't participate Just a thought..

Where does boinc store the downloaded files? In newer versions you can configure that.

We should update to a more recent version to get the boincmgr and maybe a new pkgbuild for kboincspy. These packages should go to AUR.

And after all I will try to port them to arch64.

And maybe this is the one pkgbuild to prepare it to build in more optimization option so that users can uncomment special flags for their cpu.

FYI: There is no more newsletter. All the newsletter editors/writers quit for lack of time/interest.

This should really be in the AUR - posting PKGBUILDs in the forums is old-school.

I have made (improved) PKGBUILD for latest versions of boinc and kboincspy. You can find them in AUR.

But OpenGL eye-candy in boinc_gui (BOINC Manager) doesn't work. If somebody know how to make OpenGL in BOINC work, please tell me...
