Boinc and future plans

Thu May 22 12:15:40 UTC 2014

Hi Again debian boinc team!

At the end wx3.0 has been accepted [1], leading to the possibility to upload the new boinc 7.3 releases!

Some points I want to share:

I quickly built and checked the new boinc.

I deeply checked the two commits I introduced for the gcc-4.9 build failures [2].

Now all the server stuff is dynamically linked
(funny, we were creating the so files and linking statically the packages)

the boinc-server-maker package size now has been reduced from 19.5 MB to 
10.9MB!

instead, a new dependency of libboinc7 for server-maker and app-examples (using zip lib) has been added (automatically handled by shlibs:Depends IIRC)

new libraries in server maker *seems* correctly linked.

I'm uploading the new package right now on experimental, since all the checks (didn't run the program on my machine because I don't have the new wxwidgets library).

As soon as 7.2.47+dfsg-2 reaches testing I'll upload the same on stable-backports if no objections.

And for the upload of 7.3 on unstable I'll kindly wait for some feedbacks just to be sure no showstoppers are found :)
