boinc (5.4.11-3) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* clientgui/ValidateEmailAddress.cpp: Use a much simpler regex to validate
e-mail addresses. This also allows addresses that contain '+' in their
local-part. This regex is also used in BOINC's PHP function
is_valid_email_address() in html/inc/email.inc. (closes: #393948)
[ Debconf translations ]
* Added French (fr.po) by Cyril Brulebois
<cyril.brulebois@enst-bretagne.fr>. (closes: #393499)

boinc (5.4.11-2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* Use debconf to ask whether the default BOINC data directory
/var/lib/boinc-client should be removed while purging the boinc-client
package. The wording of the template was taken from the
dbconfig-common/purge template.
* debian/control:
- Added po-debconf to Build-Depends because debconf-updatepo is called in
the clean target of debian/rules.
- Added XS-Vcs-Svn field to the source stanza.
- Changed order of Build-Depends: List packages that are needed for the
packaging first, then list packages that are needed to compile the
upstream source.
* debian/rules:
- When using the --target configure option also append --program-prefix=""
to avoid that programs are prefixed with "i686-pc-linux-gnu-".
- Install the checkin_notes file as upstream changelog.
* debian/copyright:
- Added copyright note about the Debian packaging.

boinc (5.4.11-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* New upstream release.
* Added the header file lib/gui_rpc_client.h to the boinc-dev package as
requested by Folkert van Heusden.
* debian/control:
- Removed Greg Norris <adric@debian.org> from the Uploaders field.
* debian/rules:
- Applied patch from Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com> which simplifies the
platform override for i386. We are now using --target instead of the
--build and --host switches. This also needed some changes in
boinc-client.install and boinc-manager.install. Thanks Robert for the
patch. (closes: #383871)
* debian/patches/:
- Added 01_amd64-disable-platform-reset.dpatch from Robert Millan
<rmh@aybabtu.com>. This patch prevents that projects are reset when the
platform name in client_state.xml does not match the platform name the
client was compiled for and it also sets the platform name from
client_state.xml as the valid platform name which will be used for
scheduler requests. This patch only affects AMD64. (related to: #366741)
* Explain in boinc-client's README.Debian how to modify the BOINC core
client so that it downloads 32bit applications on AMD64. The
01_amd64-disable-platform-reset.dpatch patch is mandatory for this
procedure to work correctly. (also related to: #366741, LP#51948)
* Added two helper scripts (move-boinc-dir.sh and use-32bit-on-amd64.sh)
as examples in the boinc-client package.

boinc (5.4.10-2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* Removed -ffast-math from the client's optimization flags because it causes
a floating point exception on Alpha when the client is started.
(closes: #379137)
* Added conffile /etc/boinc-client/log_flags.xml which can be used to turn
on/off logging and debugging messages. For a detailed list of messages
that can be turned on/off, see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/client_msgs.php
Note that this file was renamed to cc_config.xml in BOINC (>= 5.5.2).
* Applied patches from Peter Bailis <pbailis@gmail.com> for the boinc_cmd
manual page. Thanks again Peter!
* debian/control:
- Added boinc-app-seti to boinc-client's Suggests field.

boinc (5.4.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* New upstream release.
- Display Account Manager names correctly in BOINC Manager. This fixes
Ubuntu bug #48246.
* debian/control:
- Really bumped the Standards-Version to 3.7.2.
* Added the boinc_gl.h header to the boinc-dev package. This file is needed
to compile SETI@home's graphics component.
* Added a hint to use "update-alternatives --set x-www-browser [...]" to
manually set the x-www-browser alternative to boinc-manager's
README.Debian. See Ubuntu bug #48766 for more details.
* Use /usr/bin/python as interpreter for update-boinc-applinks instead of
/usr/bin/python2.4 and make boinc-client depend on "python (>= 2.3)" to
avoid the unnecessary strict dependency on Python 2.4.
* Made debian/rules compatible with sarge's version of dpkg-architecture and
added libcurl-ssl-dev as alternative for the libcurl3-openssl-dev build
dependency. These changes aid in backporting BOINC to sarge. Thanks to
Robert Millan for the patch. (closes: #373089)
* debian/boinc-client.postinst:
- Make sure that the group boinc exists before trying to create the user
boinc. Thanks to Christoph Martin for the report. (closes: #372950)

boinc (5.4.9-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* New upstream release.
- Really fix the connection to a remote machine bug. (closes: #360143)
- Fix another FTBFS bug with G++ 4.1, thanks again to Martin Michlmayr.
(closes: #358650)
* Removed watch file because upstream stopped providing nightly tarballs.
* debian/control:
- Bumped Standards-Version from 3.6.2 to 3.7.2, no changes required.
* debian/patches/:
- Removed 02_wx2.6-configure.ac.dpatch and 03_wx2.6-with-unicode.dpatch,
both were included upstream.
- Updated 07_use-sensible-browser.dpatch to use sensible-browser only,
because upstream's attempt to start a browser fails miserably.

boinc (5.4.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* New upstream release.
- BOINC Manager: Allow a connection request to reset a connection attempt
to the local computer or another computer. Thanks to Zlatko Calusic for
the report. (closes: #360143)
* debian/control:
- Improved the short description of all three packages. Thanks to
Martin Schulze for his suggestions. (closes: #359332)
* debian/patches/:
- Removed 01_amd64-gcc4-fixes.dpatch, it was applied upstream.
- Updated 03_wx2.6-with-unicode.dpatch and 07_use-sensible-browser.dpatch
for the new upstream release.
* Added conffile /etc/boinc-client/global_prefs_override.xml which can be
used to edit preferences locally. For more information about this file,
see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/prefs_override.php
* Clarified and expanded the explanation of the -no_gui_rpc option in
boinc_client's manpage based on Steffen's suggestion. Thanks to
David Coe for the report. (closes: #362257)
* Added the update-boinc-applinks tool that creates (or removes) symlinks to
"anonymous" BOINC applications and their app_info.xml files in a given
data directory. The "anonymous" applications and their app_info.xml files
are provided by boinc-app-* packages (e.g. boinc-app-seti). Note that
currently there are no boinc-app-* packages in the Debian archive.

boinc (5.2.15-3) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* debian/rules:
- Call configure properly with the --build and --host switches as
described in autotools-dev's README.Debian.
- Remove *.unmodified binaries in the clean target, because those files
are not removed by make distclean. This is needed to rebuild the
packages in an already used source tree.
- Update config.guess and config.sub from the autotools-dev package to add
support for GNU/k*BSD.
* debian/patches/:
- Added 10_exclude-sea.dpatch to prevent building the self-extracting
archive, since we don't need it in any case and this fixes a FTBFS on
non-Linux hosts.
- Modified 03_wx2.6-with-unicode.dpatch to fix Alioth bug #303021.
Thanks to Steven Altermatt for the bug report.
* Fixed FTBFS with G++ 4.1, thanks to Martin Michlmayr. (closes: #358650)

boinc (5.2.15-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Uploaded to Debian (closes: #281890). [ Frank S. Thomas ] * Added boinc-manager.README.Debian to explain how to set the web browser that the BOINC Manager uses. * Added the conffile "remote_hosts.cfg" to "/etc/boinc-client/". Old files are handled the same way as old "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" files.
-- Frank S. Thomas <frank@thomas-alfeld.de> Thu, 26 Jan 2006 19:25:20 +0100
boinc (5.2.15-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* debian/patches/:
- Added 07_use-sensible-browser.dpatch. The BOINC Manager now uses
"sensible-browser", which is part of the debianutils package, as
fallback if wxWidgets' method to determine the default browser fails.
Thanks to Olek Wojnar for the report and his helpful investigations.
* debian/boinc-client.postrm:
- Be more verbose when removing the "boinc" user/group.
* debian/boinc-manager.desktop:
- Added "Path: /var/lib/boinc-client" so that the BOINC Manager can find
the "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" file and does not ask for a password. This should
be removed when the BOINC Manager is able to store passwords in its
config file.
* debian/control:
- Added an extra space before the "Homepage" pseudo field according to the
Developer's Reference, Section 6.2.4.
- Added Christoph Martin <christoph.martin@uni-mainz.de> and
Greg Norris <adric@debian.org> to Uploaders.
* debian/copyright:
- Added more copyright and license information for various files.
* Created symlinks of headers and static libraries, which are required to
build the SETI@home application, in "/usr/share/boinc-dev/".
* Ship a default "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" file in "/etc/boinc-client/" and create
a symlink in "/var/lib/boinc-client" to this file. Old "gui_rpc_auth.cfg"
files are moved to "/etc/boinc-client/" before creating the symlink.

[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* debian/patches/:
- Updated 01_amd64-gcc4-fixes.dpatch for the new release.
- Updated 03_wx2.6-with-unicode.dpatch for the new release.
* Added LSB headers to the BOINC core client init script.
* Record versions of build dependencies at compile-time using dh_buildinfo.
* Updated MySQL (build) dependencies to "libmysqlclient15-dev" and
"mysql-server-5.0".
* Bumped debhelper compatibility level to V5 and updated it's build
dependency to "debhelper (>= 5)".

boinc (5.2.4-2) experimental; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* debian/patches/:
- Added 01_amd64-gcc4-fixes.dpatch again, it is still needed to compile
BOINC on AMD64.
-- Frank S. Thomas <frank@thomas-alfeld.de> Sat, 22 Oct 2005 16:13:55 +0200
boinc (5.2.4-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* debian/patches/:
- Removed obsolete 01_amd64-gcc4-fixes.dpatch.
- Updated 02_wx2.6-configure.ac.dpatch for new release.
- Updated 03_wx2.6-with-unicode.dpatch for new release.
* debian/control:
- Add zlib1g-dev, libssl-dev and libcurl3-openssl-dev to Build-Depends.
- Build depend on the newer libmysqlclient14-dev package since
libmysqlclient12-dev is scheduled to be removed.
- Moved all packages back to main. Non-free code (RSAEuro and GLUT) has
been removed from BOINC.
- Added ${misc:Depends} to all packages' Depends. This variable is not
used at the moment.
- Use a versioned dependency for lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) to ensure that the
log_progress_msg function is available. (fixes: Alioth bug #302179)
* debian/copyright:
- Added copyright and license information for various PHP libraries
found in html/inc/.
- Added the full text of the Mozilla Public License 1.0 since stripchart
is distributed under the MPL.
- Removed RSAEuro and GLUT copyright and license information since this
code was removed upstream.
* debian/rules:
- Rewrote debian/rules without CDBS. CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are now forwarded
to the build process.
- Compile only the BOINC core client program with "-O3 -ffast-math".
- Remove all files that are created by the autotools during the
pre-build target in the clean target.
* debian/boinc-client.postinst:
- If the file "/var/lib/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg" does not exist,
create an empty one and make it readable by everyone. This allows
every user on the same host to control the core client with GUI RPCs
(eg. with "boincmgr" or "boinc_cmd").
* The boinc-dev package now only includes headers and static libraries, that
are installed by "make install". According to Bruce Allen this should be
sufficient for building BOINC applications.
(http://www.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_dev/2005-October/003855.html)
* Removed all references to RSAEuro from the boinc-dev package.
* Added boinc-client.README.Debian that replaces boinc-client's previous
NEWS file and explains how to use the BOINC core client in Debian.
* Added icon to BOINC Manager's desktop file. (fixes: Alioth bug #302212)
* Updated boincmgr.xml manpage and watch file.

boinc (4.72-2) experimental; urgency=low
[ Frank S. Thomas ]
* Patched the BOINC Manager so that it compiles with Debian's experimental
wxWidgets version 2.6.1 (see: 03_wxwidgets_with_unicode.patch).
* Install "BOINC Manager.mo" files under /usr/share/locale/.
* Use LSB init-functions for the boinc-client init script and add lsb-base
dependency to boinc-client.
* debian/control.in:
- Added libjpeg62-dev to Build-Depends.
- boinc-manager properly conflicts with and replaces now the old boinc-gui
package. The experimental state of this package was a lame excuse for
not providing a smooth upgrade path in 4.27-1.
-- Frank S. Thomas <frank@thomas-alfeld.de> Sat, 13 Aug 2005 17:50:58 +0200
boinc (4.72-1) experimental; urgency=low
* The "You are a credit junkie!" release.

* debian/control.in:
- Added missing build dependencies for the BOINC graphics API library
(libsm-dev, libice-dev, libxi-dev, libx11-dev).
[ Steffen Moeller ]
* debian/control.in:
- Revised long description of the boinc-client package.
- Added "boinc-manager | kboincspy" to boinc-client's Suggests field.

boinc (4.71-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Included the 'boinc_cmd' program into the boinc-client package. boinc_cmd
is a command tool that provides an interactive command-line interface to
the BOINC core client.
* Created maintainer scripts to create/remove the '/var/lib/boinc-client'
working directory and the system user/group 'boinc'.
* Improved the boinc-client.init script and also removed the check for
uninitialized working directories (no client_state.xml file).
* Added .desktop file for the BOINC Manager program, thanks to Reed Hedges.
* debian/control.in:
- Added docbook-xml to Build-Depends. Without it this package FTBFS
(particularly docbook2x-man fails) on some systems. Thanks to
Adrian Zaugg for the report.
- Added libxmu-dev and freeglut3-dev (instead of the virtual package
freeglut-dev) to Build-Depends. Both are needed for the graphical parts
of the BOINC API library.
-- Frank S. Thomas <frank@thomas-alfeld.de> Wed, 20 Jul 2005 23:54:37 +0200
boinc (4.70-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Built with g++-4.0.
* debian/boinc-client.init:
- Added status option to init.d script as proposed in Debian bug #291148.
* debian/control.in:
- Removed Build-Conflicts on automake1.4 and automake1.6, because we invoke
aclocal-1.9 and automake-1.9 in debian/rules directly now.
- Bumped Standards-Version from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2, no changes required.
* debian/rules:
- Use 'i686-linux-gnu' as default DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE on 'i486-linux-gnu'.
It is still possible to override DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE with the
BOINC_BUILD_TYPE variable.
- Added '--enable-client' and '--enable-server' as configure flags.
* Added missing options to boinc-client manpage.
-- Frank S. Thomas <frank@thomas-alfeld.de> Thu, 7 Jul 2005 18:00:03 +0200
boinc (4.45a-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* debian/control.in:
- Moved all packages into non-free section, because RSAEuro's license
does not comply with DFSG #6 (No Discrimination Against Fields of
Endeavor). The RSAEuro license is included in debian/copyright.
-- Frank S. Thomas <frank@thomas-alfeld.de> Fri, 10 Jun 2005 16:39:21 +0200
boinc (4.40-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Disabled the boinc-manager package, because it build depends on
wxWidgets 2.6 which is not in Debian yet.
* debian/control.in:
- Added Steffen Moeller and myself to Uploaders.
- Build-Depend on libmysqlclient12-dev instead of the virtual package
libmysqlclient-dev.

boinc (4.27-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* debian/control.in:
- Added automake1.9 and autoconf (>> 2.52) to Build-Depends.
- Added automake1.6 to Build-Conflicts.
* Renamed boinc-gui package to boinc-manager. The BOINC manager binary was
renamed from 'boinc_gui' to 'boincmgr', the BOINC core client binary was
renamed to 'boinc'. This package is still experimental, so boinc-manager
does not replace (or conflict with) boinc-gui.
* debian/rules:
- The BOINC_BUILD_TYPE environment variable can be used to specify
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE in debian/rules. This is an interim solution for
the "platform '...' not found" problem.
- Create symlinks of BOINC libraries and header files under
/usr/share/boinc/ in the boinc-dev package.

* Provides now the boinc-gui package, which contains the BOINC manager, a
graphical monitoring utility for the core client.
* Revised the boinc_client manpage and added the boinc_gui manpage. Manpages
are now created with the docbook2x-man tool.
* debian/control:
- Added build dependences on libmysqlclient-dev, freeglut-dev,
libwxgtk2.4-dev and docbook2x.
- Added build conflict with automake1.4.
- Changed section from "science" to "net" (boinc-client), "x11" (boinc-gui)
