It’s Official April 6, 2008

trackback

BOINC has been added to the Fedora 7 and higher repositories. You can use your favorite GUI front end or just do

# yum install boinc-client boinc-manager

The cool part is my logrotate config file is in the repositories as part of the package. I don’t know how geeky that makes me, but it sure did make me feel good. I don’t program, so there’s isn’t a whole lot I can do to give back to the Fedora community. So I think it’s cool that I was able to contribute in this small way.

Woohoo! Congrats Kathryn, you have arrived! :P (About time you posted again, I was getting worried)

LOL.

Too many blogs to keep track of.

One of these days I’ll actually commit to updating this thing regularly. I have a recipe blog I keep meaning to get started on.

I need about 3 more hours in every day.

Congratulations on your logrotate script!

It is indeed a cool thing to say something you have done is included for many to enjoy.

Whether they realize it, see it, or not, you have removed another rough-edge and made BOINC yet a little bit smoother with 1 less hassle to maintain. :-)

Your logrotate seems to be a good solution for users who still want a log file instead of dumping it into the NULL bit-bucket.
