BOINC v7.2.28 - recommended now.

What's new compared to v7.0.64?

BTW.
What's VirtualBox - and who should use it?

[EDIT: I can install v7.2.28 over v7.0.64 without problems - and back to v7.0.64 again if wanted (app_info.xml file usage)?]

Look this thread: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=73238 solves some of the questions.

I haven't tried it yet, but have seen many people running it and I'm sure they would have sounded a warning if there was a problem with the upgrade. When you return to a previous version of BOINC, you usually have to run the installer a second time before you start BOINC and choose the repair option to ensure that it replaces more recent files.

I install in 6 diferent hosts, 5 install with not problem just run over the old 7.0.64, in one case the install fails. To fix that i need to first totaly uninstall the 7.0.64 and the run a clean (new) instalation of the 7.2.28. Why fail in only this host and works in the others i have no ideia. After that all the hosts are working fine.

After installing new version BOINC, project SETI@home beta tasks was considered to be a considerably longer. Does anyone else?

On NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (2048MB) driver: 331.65 OpenCL 1.01 (2 tasks at one time)

The estimate or the real runtime ? After an install it often happens estimates on tasks go a little crazy, that's sorted out after a few reported tasks...

Virtualbox is a virtualisation package used by e.g. LHC's Test4Theory project. In that project, it is used to create a Linux virtual machine.

I successfully updated Farragut, (Win 7 64 Bit), Desktop machine. However; on Constellation, my Ubuntu Linux machine, Ubuntu Linux Software Center --> BOINC only shows 7.0.64 and 7.0.65 as options to install.

I am NOT well versed in Terminal, and command lines. So, while I could download 7.2.28 from the SETI Home Page, I don't know how to successfully install it without hurting my current 7.0.65 Install that is running smoothly.

I am on Ubuntu 12.0.4, 32 Bit, on an old Athlon XP system. The last time someone "helped" me installing on Ubuntu Linux, it got all screwed up. So, I'm inclined to stay at 7.0.65 until such time as the Ubuntu Software Manager recognizes that 7.2.28 is there to be installed.

Strange -- or is it?
My boincmgr is telling me I should download BOINC 7.2.33 and if I navigate to the download page in my browser that is indeed what I get offered.
However, I usually need to compile my own on my Linux boxes, but 'git tag' only offers me versions up to client_release/7.2/7.2.20 (on my home box) -- do I have to execute some other esoteric git command to see the latest tags?
[Edit] Looking on another box, it seems that 'git tag' only shows tags up to the time I did the initial 'git clone' so I guess I need to find out how to update that -- 'git checkout master' didn't help. [/Edit]

[Edit2] Found it:

git fetch --tags

(Apparently 'git pull --tags' also works.)

Actually I suspect if the authors would take the time to test their own random drunken musings, then this wouldn't happen.

I don't upgrade unless I am forced too. 9/2005 to Boinc. Then I am not sure when I was forced to upgrade from 5 something or the other to 6x.

are you signed up to boinc_dev? There was a problem with git - you may need to do a completely fresh checkout.
