Bugzilla Bug 70303

This is an ebuild for setiathome, it depends on boinc, but boinc doesn't depend
on it.  Boinc will download it's own binaries for projects unless one is
provided...

wrong nightly tarball date. (they haven't updated their configure script since
4.07 yet)

I have this error on two different system (i686 and i586) when I try to emerge
-u setiathome

I am currently working on this and boinc, and would like to get them into
portage. I am currently unable to download the sources to the setiathome client
though, and so will continue testing the boinc client for now.

I am working on the latest nightly snapshot right now. I will test and see how
I go, using the latest ebuild as a starting point.

setiathome-4.15.ebuild

This ebuild works for me, but it is a shame we have to download the entire
boinc source.  At least we don't have to compile it :)

4.15 is extremely slow, the source code for 4.09 is not in the
archives/download location. I think we at least need the maths code from before
it got messed up.

the ebuild depends on sci-astronomy/boinc. This package has moved to
sci-misc/boinc.

Chaning that an the ebuild works great.

Setiathome 4.18 ebuild

This is for testing. It seems to work on my system, but no guarantees.

I am just getting used to boinc so I could be wrong about this.  
  
It seems that setiathome as a seperate package should be deprecated.  The  
boinc software automatically downloads the required applications for the  
projects you sign up for.  
  
Now this isn't true for AMD64, since the boinc/setiathome folks don't have a   
binary for that architecture.  
 
Possible Answers: 
 * Maybe change the keywords for setiathome to just ~amd64? 
 * Keep setiathome as a ebuild, but just as a front for the boinc dependency.

boinc-gutil.patch

Could be necessary. Not sure, though.

I have committed a modified form of the ebuild to the portage tree. Thanks Tony 
for all the work you have put into these ebuilds. I couldn't get the GUI 
working, or to compile here so it is still disabled for now - I do aim to get 
it working in future. 

Closing...
