Bug 115578 – boinc - new version

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Davison 2005-12-14 12:06:22 UTC]

A new version of boinc is available so a new ebuild is needed.

The version that is available in portage (masked) is
sci-misc/boinc-4.72.20050813-r3.

Per http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php, version 5.2.13 for Linux is the
recommended version.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
n/a

Expected Results:  
install recommended version

Here is my emerge info although I do not think this is necessary for a new
ebuild request:

Uh? Latest version in portage is 5.2.14... 

[Comment 2 Ed Davison 2005-12-14 12:11:30 UTC]

Then I must be missing someing pretty basic.  I did an emerge sync today and
then issues the following emerge search command.

bash # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge search boinc

(In reply to comment #2)

Still in package.mask, you need to do

echo ">=sci-misc/boinc-5.2.14" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask to test it
