18.11.2003 - Das Entwicklerteam in Berkeley hat heute die BOINC Version 2.10 und Astropulse 2.11 für den Betatest freigegeben. In diesem Zusammenhang haben sie unter anderem einen Link zum SETI@home/BOINC Sourcecode auf der Downloadseite eingefügt. Die Ver÷ffentlichung erfolgt unter GNU General Public License und ist ein Meilenstein in der Geschichte von SETI@home, das damit zu Open Source Software wird.
19.11.2003 - Zwar hat gestern der öffentliche Betatest begonnen, doch schon noch kurzer Zeit musste der Anmeldeserver die weiße Fahne aufziehen. Zunächst wurde die Anmeldung wieder gesperrt. Heute am Abend wird es voraussichtlich einen neuen Anlauf mit geänderten Datenbankeinstellungen geben.
Source Code
Berkeley has released seti_boinc source code under the GNU/GPL today! SETI becomes open source.
The seti_boinc source code is being released under the GNU General Public License.
In order to compile and link seti_boinc you will need to download and compile boinc first.
Untar/unzip both boinc and seti_boinc in the same directory on your system. Configure and make boinc, then configure and make seti_boinc.
If everything compiles OK you will find the application in the seti_boinc/client directory. You can test the application with the included workunit. In some directory, copy in both the application and seti_boinc/client/test_workunits/reference_work_unit.sah. Rename reference_work_unit.sah to work_unit.sah. Run the application in standalone mode. For example:
setiathome-2.06.sparc-sun-solaris2.7 -standalone
