Please backport boinc_5.8.17-2build2 from Gutsy

Please backport boinc_5.8.17-1 from Gutsy

 affects feisty-backports
 subscribe pkg-boinc

Feisty offers boinc_5.4.11-5 which is a deprecated upstream version. The
current recommended upstream version is 5.8.17 which includes many bugfixes
and new features.
I've verified via pbuilder that boinc_5.8.17-1 builds on Feisty without source
changes.

Thanks,
Frank

This reply is rather cryptic, what does it mean?

Thanks Jeremy for the explanation! and prevu is not a misspelled "preview" but https://launchpad.net/prevu :-)

the boinc 5.8.17 has been truncated & only 5.8.16 is the official release.Only 5.8.19 is there but that's also unstable & there is 5.8.20 in works http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/roadmap

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

Sorry that should have been 5.9.5 as testing/unstable & 5.10 soon.

If you would look at the source code (or at [1]) you would see that the
changes between 5.8.16 and 5.8.17 are only Mac specific and hence 5.8.16 and
5.8.17 built for Linux are basically the same. This should not hinder the
backport process.
