[Debian-astro-maintainers] BOINC app Einstein at Home Binary Radio Pulsar search in Debian

[Steffen Möller]

Hello,

We have the BOINC SETI app in Debian for many years now, and somehow it
happened that we now also have the Einstein at Home BRP app in Debian, see
https://packages.qa.debian.org/b/boinc-app-eah-brp.html .

It is yet uncertain where this will lead to. Because if lower
computational demands, this project is earmarked for the computationally
less sophisticated platforms, namely ARM on mobile phones, mostly.
Anyway, the package is highly competitive in its performance and the
next version will ship a script to generate a wisdom file for the fftw3
library that almost doubles the processing speed across platforms.

Just in case that someone reads this who would like the idea to help
packaging for other Einstein at Home packages or for BOINC in general then
please speak up.

Best,

Steffen
