Bug#614443: boinc-app-seti patch, added to git repository

[Steffen Möller]

Hello,

I have just added the patch to the git repository and am very happy for
Paul and Ilya having been so proactive on it all. We need a new
maintainer for the boinc-app-seti package. Particularly for the advent
of more and more performant mobile phones, many of which running with
Linux, we should truly think about getting the BOINC apps migrated to
them. I know upstream of BOINC to have addressed such already at their
last user meeting, but they had not thought much about regular
Debian/Ubuntu on various phones or tablets that are not Intel/AMD-based.
Should any of you be running SETI on any such, please edit
http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC/Projects .

There was an earlier effort to update the SETI package to 5.28 which was
never sent to the archive from what I recall. And there is already a
version 6 out there. So, if any reader of this comment would feel like
adopting the SETI package, please speak out.

Kind regards,

Steffen
