Version 25.7 of sci-mathematics/gimps is available for download at the URL above. Please notice that names of configuration files have changed and the management of multiprocessors has changed. I suggest a big warning in the ebuild that directs users to http://mersenne.org/freesoft/#upgradeusers There is no static version this time. It depends on libcurl.so.4, thus current stable curl works fine, but it's not in system so the dependency must be made explicit, and on libstdc++.so.6, so something must be made (I think) for those still using gcc-3 and/or on x86. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I just noticed that there's an ebuild for 25.6 in the tree. It mostly seems alright but I don't understand where does the dependencies for openssl || e2fsprogs-libs and com_err and virtual/krb5 come from. I just do not see them in the binary.

Thanks a lot.
Created attachment 170704 [details, diff] Patch for latest version of GIMPS This patch should address my concerns with the current ebuild for gimps-25.6. Feel free to amend it. files/gimps-25.6-conf.d and files/gimps-25.6-init.d should simply be renamed to 25.7

Also note that neither 25.6 nor 25.7 will _ever_ work correctly on x86 because the 32-bit version of the binary is somehow dinamically linked to libcurl.so.3, which is not provided by any package in the tree. I solved this by symlinking libcurl.so.3 to libcurl.so.4 in /usr/lib and so far it appears to be working fine.
Created attachment 170796 [details, diff] New patch based on new 25.6 ebuild (20081105)
Ping? 25.7 is the new stable version according to http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ and is the only one able to connect to the new primenet server by default. Several bugfixes as well. Please upgrade, at least for AMD64.
Added to CVS, along with a binary patch which should make it work on x86. Thanks for the version bump request.
