Hey all, just a note to let you know we're still alive. Things have been busy for me personally, and I haven't had much time to devote to Team Haiku, and Haiku in general.

However, there are some things brewing!

We're going to probably make some updates to the website here shortly, probably changing a few things around such as the logo and maybe some content. We'll probably also move the site to a hosting provider where we have a little more control.

I also intend to fix the links to the binary packages in the past articles - as my FTP server is currently down. Maybe I can setup an official download section here on the site instead.

I'd like to get an updated BOINC and SETI port put together soon as well, I know a few people have asked me about it, and I haven't found the time to update it recently. With the recent Haiku R1/Alpha 2 release, now is a perfect time to publish an updated port.

Stay tuned!

BOINC and SETI@home ported to Haiku

BOINCAt some point in the last month or two, I completed a port of BOINC for Haiku (gcc4-only). BOINC itself is exciting, but I also took some time to compile the SETI@Home enhanced client and tested it against the official SETI project.

It seems everything is in workig order :)

These apps are not "official", but I have packaged along with the application an app_info.xml file which allows you to use the anonymous-compiled app for an otherwise unofficial platform.

This isn't yet for the faint-of-heart, since there's no nice GUI to control it, but with the boinccmd app, you can control an instance of BOINC running on Haiku pretty easily. You'll also need to grab libcurl (either gcc2 or gcc4 will work).

The package can be downloaded here . Installation instructions would be identical to Solaris . I haven't had time yet to include instructions in the archive.

 
New SoB client available for Haiku!

Seventeen Or BustA few of you may know that we had been working on a port of the new SoB client (GIMPS mprime) for Haiku. Well, after some testing, and working with Louis Helm , we have finally published the client for all to use!

Get it here (there are separate gcc2/gcc4 versions available). Note that it also requires installing libcurl.

The mprime client is noticeably faster than the old sb client, even on Linux and Windows.

If you have any issues with the client, first read the readme.txt, and then feel free to pop into #teamhaiku on irc.freenode.net, post on the SeventeenOrBust forums or contact Urias McCullough directly.

Stick around, we've got some more projects under way!
