I've pretty much have boinc ported over, but I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing with the default installation location. Currently I have boinc installed into /var/db/boinc to be consistant with where setiathome puts its data files (I think I can see the reasoning on why /var would be a good place). If you tweak PREFIX you can have boinc be installed somewhere else. Also, there is an rcNG script I have written, which by default gets installed into ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d/ (also tweakable). All the other boinc data lives in /var/db/boinc (so setiathome, or seti_boinc as I should probably call it, gets installed to /var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu). Should I continue to have it install to the /var partition, or not mess with PREFIX and have the default be ${LOCALBASE}? -- Robin Schoonover (aka End) # # Had there been an actual emergency, you would no longer be here. #
