Created attachment 243618 [details] Trivial patch As most computers with BOINC clients are running on x86_64 nowadays
We also could have it with both platforms enabled: For example, on a x86_64 linux system that supports both 64-bit and 32-bit executables, you might specify --with-boinc-platform=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and --with-boinc-alt-platform=i686-pc-linux-gnu. Just not sure whether it could be of any use, as even if some BOINC projects still have 32-bit executables, they are very likely to have 64-bit ones too, which perform better. And whether Linuxulator subsystem would be able to run 32 bit Linux executables? What else could we do with it: some kind of platform autodetection? Or manual selection via Makefile flags? This patch is just a simplest working solution, but what could the best one look like?

Comment on attachment 243865 [details] [PATCH] net/boinc-client: Change alternate platform to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Maintainer timeout
Fixed with commit for bug #252273.
I have a simple patch for this now.
Created attachment 251307 [details] [PATCH] net/boinc-client: configure alternate platform according to ${ARCH}
Maintainer timeout > 18 months. Is port support other arch(7)-es: armv7, armv6, powerpcspe, powerpc64le, riscv64?
FreeBSD ports support Linux only on amd64, i386 and aarch64 for rl9 (Rocky Linux 9) and on amd64 and i386 for c7 (CentOS 7).

Created attachment 257076 [details] [PATCH] net/boinc-client: configure alternate platform according to ${ARCH} (In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #9) Thank you for the idea: I improved it even more :)
Options in the port is "very broken" - fixing and testing are in progress…
Created attachment 257103 [details] v1 Improve port: - fix options - dependencies, plist, configure options; - fix check for symlinks in pkg-deinstall; - fix warnings from portclippy; - configure alternate platform according to ${ARCH} for option LINUX. Can you test this patch?

Thanks.
Created attachment 257157 [details] [PATCH] [FOLLOW-UP] net/boinc-client: improve port
(In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #14) Thank you too. Sorry for being too late: you was so fast to commit it :) I've just successfully tested it on my local BOINC instance, all works well. And just this small follow-up, please, removing unnecessary dos2unix and tar from USES.
(In reply to Älven from comment #16) > removing unnecessary dos2unix Why unnecessary? I see: DOS2UNIX_GLOB= *.xpm
Yes, it is written, but no actual XPM files do have DOS-encoding in current versions of BOINC. It may be actual some time in the past. You may check it yourself, if you like or just need to.
All files *.xpm already have UNIX "End Of Lines"?
(In reply to Älven from comment #16) Something else? Before I commit this change. :-)
(In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #20) > Something else? Before I commit this change. :-) Thank you. Looks like you are kind and not angry on me :-) Nothing I could remember for now. P.S. I've run % find . -not -type d -exec file "{}" ";" | grep CRLF on extracted tarball of the port, and no XPM file was found. Some files which still did were lot of *.vcxproj XMLs from "win_build" folder and alike and some *.bat files. None of this seems to be relevant to non-windows builds, I think.
P.P.S. I really opened several (not all) of these XPMs with my GNU/EMACS. Mode line clearly showed common "-UU-:@---", so UNIX. For *.bat files it showed "-UU-(DOS)@---".
Do either of you want maintainership? I don't run boinc anymore.
I do run BOINC 24*7 and hope to be able to do so in the future, and also would like to help the science by maintaining scientific software ports, like BOINC. Still this is rather difficult one, and Vladimir Druzenko have much more experience than I do, so he may be better maintainer than me. But if he wouldn't like to take it, I would like and will do my best to take care of it :)
I don't use this port. And I only did this PR at Älven's request, so it's better for him to become a maintainer. If necessary, I can help with the port - contact me.

Thank you for offering your help: I will really need it when adopting this really difficult port! > And I only did this PR at Älven's request, so it's better for him to become a maintainer. P.S. Please, s/him/her/ :) Or at least, don't call me "he": I identify myself as female :) Älven: she/her (while swedish word "älven" meaning "river" is of common gender, me is female :)
(In reply to Älven from comment #26) Oh, sorry! :-o I didn't know! (-: So you want to become the maintainer?
(In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #27) Don't worry! :) You already was kind with me :) > So you want to become the maintainer? Yes! With hope for your help, of course :)
