Description Gary 2016-01-20 12:02:40 UTC 
see announcement on http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

my v7 client hasn't had any work units for a few weeks now, I suspect because of the requirement for v8

this port should go away.  You can get the linux executables to run if this port is NOT installed, and you reset the project, after deleting the app_info.xml.
Comment 2 Gary 2017-01-13 17:14:48 UTC 
How do you install the Linux seti@home executables?  Using the Linux BOINC version or the FreeBSD one?
Comment 3 Larry Rosenman freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-13 17:26:40 UTC 
FreeBSD one. Make sure you have linux emulation and a linux_base installed.
Comment 4 Larry Rosenman freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-16 22:22:41 UTC 
take this outdated port to it's death
Comment 5 Larry Rosenman freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-01-17 23:55:06 UTC 
Manfred Antar has given me the recipe to create a FreeBSD native setiathome binary.

I'll update/rename the port instead of nuking it.

Will require a net/boinc-client version bump / modernization, which
I was planning to do anyway.
Comment 6 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2018-01-19 03:15:02 UTC 
Makefile shows:
PORTVERSION=    8.00

It is done, I think this could closed.

Committed via a different PR.
