[ pkg-boinc-Feature Requests-303423 ] Client software (likesetiathome...)

[Steffen Moeller]

Hi, I do not consider it is useless without a project client since I am using 
it without a Debian project client on too many machines already - but this 
admittedly is for Intel.

The boinc people have recently added an example project, both server and 
client side, especially for the training of local developers. Please consider 
to work on a Debianisation of that http://boinc.berkeley.edu/source_code.php

Cheers,

Steffen
