The 6.12 boinc-app-seti package in Debian addressed all that. Just, the version
-1 is not installing itself correctly. Version -2 (in git and on its way to the
Debian archives) has this fixed by Guo Yixuan.

I think that BOINC just at some point changed underneath and the boinc-app-seti
package was just not taken care of. It has now seen its first patches since
somewhen in 2008 or so. It is a pity I was not aware of Ilya and those patches.
Now we need some more such good souls also for the milkyway app.

I do not know about what compiler etc was used for the official clients.
Having it all local, everyone can optimise for the machine available,
i.e. with compilation flags and even with patches. But more interesting to
me is the support of all the non-standard platforms like ARM that we are
about to see more and more.

It is also a bit of a philosophical question. E.g., I heard voices that
do object running anything they do not know the source available for inspection.
And it is education. And communication, like, whatever uncertain it is for
them to eventually find something, Debian/Ubuntu ease to submit the one or
other patch, and if it is only a typo, to become a part of it.

Cheers,

Steffen
