Bug 85633 – Torsmo 0.18 will not display any SETI@home information.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description mike will 2005-03-17 06:30:41 UTC]

One of the changes from 0.17 to 0.18 Torsmo was that it claimed built in SETI@home support. Previously you had to use a patch to get this functionality. The variables, for SETI@home progress etc, in the readme / changelog / example config file do not work in any way shape or form.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to get any SETI@home information displayed by torsmo 0.18 using their sample config.

Actual Results:  
The variable is displayed as text.
Example, you get the text: ${set_progbar 6}


Expected Results:  
Should display a progress bar.

please attempt to find a solution. It's going to be a while before I can look at this one.

torsmo-0.18-r3 patch to include a seti use flag.

the ebuild compiles torsmo with no --enable-seti (since this is off by default)

it's not necessarily a bug,  >=app-admin/torsmo-0.18 ...  has seti support but
it is, by default turned off.
