two commands were necessary for me to get a init script in /etc/init.d /usr/local/portage/sci-misc/boinc/files cp -rf /usr/portage/sci-misc/boinc/files/* /usr/local/portage/sci-misc/boinc/files

Created attachment 171094 [details] boinc-6.2.16.ebuild I tested this on my computers at home and I'm glad that user activity finaly works again. I've also merged this ebuild with the one from bug #236931 that I will duplicate against this bug.
Created attachment 171096 [details, diff] boinc-6.2.16.ebuild.patch patch against the ebuild in tree.

Created attachment 171098 [details] boinc.init here is an updated boinc init script that will properly log activity of the daemon again. Please check it works as expected on your machines as well as it might need a recent start-stop-daemon (from openrc-0.3 here)
I'm wondering whether this ebuild is available via an overlay or not ?
forgot to mention that the generated tarball contains unneeded .svn files and no default configure so you have to run eautoreconf and inherit autotools (it's commented currently). I'll check the scripts in the 6.2.15 bug to see if there is something in there to fix if I have time.

As i see boinc doesn't install it. It seems that upstream recommends a 6.2.15. this patch shows this possible changes

There is 6.2.15 in the tree from now. :] Releases should be updated by version changes on their site (read as with their binary clients).
