The latest approved version of BOINC is 7.0.65. I've hacked the download script to include 'git' rather than svn, which is no longer being updated. I've updated the patches as required to account for the differences between 7.0.29 and 7.0.65. I submit this in case it's useful to anyone besides myself. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. place 'generate_tarball_git.sh', 'boinc-7.0.65_configure.patch' and 'boinc-7.0.65_Makefile.patch' in 'sci-misc/boinc/files' directory 2. place 'boinc-7.0.65.ebuild' in 'sci-misc/boinc' 3. from sci-misc/boinc, run 'files/generate_tarball_git.sh -v 7.0.65' 4. cp boinc-dist/boinc-7.0.65.tar.xz /usr/portage/distfiles/ 5. ebuild boinc-7.0.65.ebuild manifest 6. emerge boinc

How is this a duplicate of the other bug report other than being about the same app? This report is about a new version and doesn't address security issues at all. It's a totally different subject. If it is a duplicate, it would be a duplicate of bug 411463. Please explain how this is a duplicate of bug 467908.

Ok, I see the one liner directed @ the maintainers in 467908. Will that eventually lead to a sci-misc/boinc-7.0.65 ebuild?
