Wed Jul 25 23:23:16 UTC 2012

This bug was fixed in the package boinc - 7.0.27+dfsg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1

---------------
boinc (7.0.27+dfsg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Stable Release Update to fix multiple bugs:
    - fixes regression with Seti, Docking at Home and maybe others
      (LP: #1009536)
    - fixes crash when adding projects (LP: #1001168)
    - fixes file descriptor leak (LP: #968021)
  * debian/control: enable building of boinc-amd-opencl again (disabled in
    7.0.27+dfsg-4 for Debian specific reasons)

boinc (7.0.27+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: use dpkg-buildflags to get default flags.
  * debian/control: build-depend on dpkg-dev >= 1.16.1.1, because
    buildflags.mk and DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS are needed.
  * debian/patches/add_hardening_flags.patch: pass CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and
    LDFLAGS to hand-written Makefiles in samples/.

boinc (7.0.27+dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Steffen Moeller ]
  * Not building boinc-amd-opencl, for fglrx-driver is not in testing.
  * Adding hardening flags.
  * Addressed FTBFS on hurd (Closes: #672725)
  * debian/boinc-client.init: increasing priority of boinc client, change nice
    value from 19 to 10.

  [ Guo Yixuan ]
  * Add patch from Rom that fix the project category crash. (Closes: #641593)
  * debian/rules: fix to set sched/transitioner_catchup.php in
    boinc-server-maker executable.
  * Cherry-picking above commits from master to sid branch.
  * Add myself to uploaders.

boinc (7.0.27+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now truly reconstituting compatibility with SETI
    (Closes: #672328, lp: #991179).
  * builds with gcc 4.7 (Closes: #671999)
    Thanks to Matthias Klose for his patch, had sadly only seen it after
    I patched it myself :o/  The NMU of his should not kick in because
    of the SETI incompatibility.

    scientific apps

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04/7.0.24/ Seti at home

Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “boinc” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We already had a bug opened for this issue. But it was marked as "fix
  released" (I don't know why as no change ever happened to the
  repository package)

  The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository
  doesn't work for seti at home, it just produces "computation errors".

  The package needs to be changed, perhaps to Debians SID 7.0.27, or
  backported from Quantal if that package has been confirmed to be in
  good working order.

  Currently, 12.04/seti at home and lhc at home users are still unable to run
  Boinc without using the PPA alternatives.

  -Dave

  [Edited for clarity]

  Please SRU

  [Impact]
  This bug affects all users of Precise attempting to run Boinc 7.0.24 for the Seti at home project.

  [Test case]
  Bug can be reproduced by installing Boinc 7.0.24 in Ubuntu 12.04 and connecting to the seti at home project.
  Downloaded work-units will instantly error upon attempting to run. In other words the Boinc package currently in the precise repository is unusable for Seti at home, and a couple others.

  [Regression Potential]
  Quantal has had it's version of boinc changed to 7.0.27 from Debian SID. As far as I'm aware it fixes this bug.
  7.0.27 has many upstream fixes for several issues, I think that the change may bring a few new bugs, but should fix far more issues than it causes, again the current package is unusable for one of the largest projects running on Boinc.
