FreeBSD packages normally bloated

[hruodr]

Why don't you put a public boinc build, slimmed down, in /opt?

I got error trying to built.

There is no binary release for freebsd 15:

Download BOINC client software

You can apply the FreeBSD port patches, and then ./configure --prefix /opt/boinc && make && make install in the workdir.

That way you'll have a working boinc with your options frozen in time that won't be touched by pkg. Of course you will have to manually update when security fixes are released.

Putting more libraries, dependencies, would bloat my system.

Yes, while you do end up with multiple copies of i.e zlib, they are encapsulated within a single folder that can be upgraded by simply deleting and replacing.

In UNIX terms, agreed, this is bloated (uses more filesystem) but logically it is cleaner, lighter and more resilient to versioning differences.

Either packages or ports, not mixture, is the rule.

It's not a rule. It's a precaution. You have to be careful which packages and ports get installed and from which build. People do it. I have. But it's not something to be taken lightly.

hi hruodr : thanks . friend...
en , my personal pc was not poweron always.... what i can use boinc to do something for myself ? thanks.

A scientific project "for yourself" and collect CPU from others.

Even if it is not power on always, you should be able to donate CPU.

All donations gratefully accepted by science I'm sure as well.

I think, lua is missing there. What is you opinion?

 

[SirDice]

I think, lua is missing there.

Why should it be included?

 

[hruodr]

Why should it be included?

Because it is being included everywhere.

 

[Charlie_]

Because it is being included everywhere.

It appears that a rebuttal to your argument is written here.

So you reject something you don't fully understand

Yes!

If someone tells me that something is necessary, but cannot explain what that something is and justify why it is necessary, I reject it. I do not buy it, be it something edible from the supermarket or a new rc system for FreeBSD. Definitively.

T-Aoki gave a comprehensible justification of why improvements are necessary, and sure improvements are necessary, everything can be improved.

But those arguing like new rc system is necessary never give comprehensive justification of their point. The discussions about rc are...
