Bug#647766: boinc-manager: doesn't respect the "Additional work buffer" option

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 6.13.10+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Hello,
boinc-manager doesn't respect (since quite some time, sorry to report it only
now) anymore the "Additional work buffer" option. I've set it to '10' days, but
currently I only have the 3 WUs running right now, and nothing more. once one is
finished, then eventualyl others are downloaded, but just to fulfill the
immediate need of computation, no additional buffer is filled.

This is an important feature, in particular because several machines might not
have a constant connection, so being able to buffer some WUs is vital.

Regards,
Sandro
