I don't know if 6.6.38 build correctly, if you have a working PKGBUILD I think everyone would be happy (since it is stable). But I don't know if that is possible now since a higher version is already in the repos. That would mean everybody has to force a downgrade? As we would provide new package names (something like boinc-client, boinc-manager, etc. this shouldn't be a problem at all. We could easily set a conflict flag.

I could help you writing the split package but I don't have much time this week. I can't assure you anything ;o) It doesn't hurt that much, we could work it out the following week(s), it was just a general idea from me.
Hi all, first of all, sorry for the late answer. I was quite busy with real life this week. Yes, I uploaded the development version to the repository. The stable version there 6.4.5 was very old and I was not able to build the new stable version even after a lot of trying. I just wanted to have a newer version than the out-of-date 6.4.5 For the ATI GPUs: you'll need 6.10.3 or later, said the boinc page, so I took the latest version which built fine, let it run on my 3 computers to find out if there are any problems. After few days testing, with no problems, no crashes, I placed it in community. I could have guessed it will not pass unnoticed. I have to apologize, if I caused any troubles with this step, but at least there are no bugs reported, so maybe this didn't cause any harm until now. Now to the package itself. To be honest, I don't like the Debian structure of the boinc packages. Arch also does not have any openssh-server/openssh-client packages. In my opinion AUR and ABS are the best places for providing such specialities. Or maybe the new package splitting could be used here instead. I didn't have time to study this properly until now, so hints are very welcome. Nevertheless thanks for bringing this up and we may discuss further.
Sorry for being a bit off topic, but Jaroslav Lichtblau copied a bit from my PKGBUILD and left the configure option --optimize in the PKGBUILD. Does the current package work for you? Because --optimize breaks the standard makepkg CFLAGS ... Or is "-ffast-math -O3" considered safe for offical builds? I'm not that kind of deep into the compiling thing, so without looking it up, I don't even know what this option exactly stands for ;). I guess

I will contact you personally, so we can share our knowledge and work it out together ;). Anyone who wants to participate also, is free to contact us.
Count me in, I'm open to any suggestions. See you around, Jaroslav
