I adapted the old folding at home ebuilds to the new AMD64 SMP folding at home client. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 112365 [details] The ebuild in question.
Attach a unified diff against current ebuilds, please... Definitely not a tarball.
Created attachment 112431 [details, diff] A new ebuild for the FAH AMD64 Linux client The only thing really missing from this ebuild is a way to prevent it or at least let the user know that they should only use the patch if they have an SMP system.
Let's try this again with a unified diff.
Sigh... Take the *current* sci-biology/foldingathome ebuild, make whatever changes are needed, diff it. Not so hard, I guess??? (Plus absolutely no need to diff digests or whatever other cruft).
Created attachment 112436 [details, diff] A new ebuild for the FAH AMD64 Linux client OK, here's a revised version. First, this is not supposed to replace the existing version because this is only for SMP AMD64 machines. Second, I just realized that it requires a multilib glibc (one of the binaries is 32-bit), but I'm not sure how to indicate this in the ebuild.
Thanks for the diff! I've been running FAH on multi-core amd machines for a long time now... However, there's a problem: The client will stop working after 2 months (this is a limited release beta -- new clients will be available before the current version ends its test period) http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-SMP.html I'd wait until things settle down before bumping FAH.
well heck, lets go for it anyway... I'm about to commit foldingathome-5.91_beta....it'll be package.masked, so you'll have to unmask it. Let me know how it works out for you.
The beta expired....we're waiting to see what's next....
Created attachment 130985 [details] This ebuild will download from the official FAH website. I am using 5.91_beta... I am providing an ebuild which has RESTRICT="mirror" because the mirror i use is providing expired betas of the SMP client. (Remember to delete the old beta in your distfiles directory before running "ebuild digest" ;) )
