Preliminary versions of net/boinc-client-4.66 and astro/boinc-setiathome-4.07 with GUI support are available now at: http://opal.com/boinc/ The default builds include the GUI support. To build without GUI use "make BOINC_GUI=no" on both ports. The GUI support uses the x11-toolkits/wxgtk port. I have had reports of problems using this on FreeBSD 4.x, so this may not work there. Thanks go to Idar Tollefsen for his assistance with patches for 4.x. Release of these versions had been delayed for a while while we developed code changes to support the GUI protocol in a distributed multi-user environment and while we solved a problem with signal delivery in a pthreadded program on an SMP system. I'd appreciate any feedback before I submit these as port updates. In addition, I have been assisting with a native FreeBSD version of astro/boinc-einsteinathome, or EAH. This is now working and in final testing. However, it will likely not be released as a port; instead, the binary will be made available as a supported platform on the EAH site, at least for FreeBSD 5.x/i386 and 6.x/i386. EAH will require net/boinc-client-4.66 so I want to get that port update released soon. Thanks, -jr
