Description peter@prh.myzen.co.uk 2021-08-31 10:39:23 UTC
Greetings, Sven.

At least one BOINC project now requires net-fs/cvmfs for certain jobs. It would be useful if a USE flag were added to BOINC to pull that in. It should be optional, as not all projects need it.

Many thanks.

Which one would need that?

I am planning to bump the client soon, and would add that USE-Flag, but need the project name for documentation purpose.
Comment 2 peter@prh.myzen.co.uk 2021-11-16 13:42:53 UTC
This is from a message on the Atlas@Home site:

"... CVMFS is required to run ATLAS native tasks..."

See https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_user_posts.php?userid=21541

It isn't very clear, not least because the threading marks have got lost, but the upshot is that CVMFS is required for Atlas@Home projects to multitask.

I'll have a look elsewhere on the site to see if the requirement is documented properly.

In fact, this forum post seems to do the job:

    sci-misc/boinc: Add optfeature message to point out net-fs/cvmfs
    
    CVMFS is needed to run ATLAS native tasks from LHC@home.
    But besides not being needed by anything else, it is also only
    available on x86 and amd64.
    Therefore this did not become a USE flag but an optional feature
    message.
