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...

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.
Created attachment 56674 [details] 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.
Created attachment 61701 [details] 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.
Created attachment 66422 [details, diff] 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...
