Several other changes between the current port versions and
these new ones are worth noting:
1. The /usr/local/boinc directory has been eliminated.
The former contents are now in:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/include/BOINC
/usr/local/lib/boinc
/var/db/projects/*
This was required to simplify the ports of other client
apps which expect these more standard install locations.
2. The main shell script to run boinc has been renamed
from "boinc-client" to just "boinc".
3. The boinc and client apps are now installed using simpler
names like "foo", rather than "foo-vers-portbld-freebsdx.x".
4. The rc.d/boinc.sh shell script to start boinc at boot time
has been made common to all versions of FreeBSD, and the
code to stop boinc has been cleaned up.
5. The GUI management interface is included as "boincmgr".
Read the man page regarding proper setup of your xhost
permissions in order to get the GUI status screens to
work.
6. The split use of "foo" and "foo.so" for the main client
app and its graphics lib is supported. However this
does not currently work for the SETI app, so SETI is
compiled as a single monolithic "foo" at the moment. It
does work for the forthcoming EAH app, though.
