Hello
What app_info should be to get only AP tasks w/o SETI 6.02 ones?

Hello
What app_info should be to get only AP tasks w/o SETI 6.02 ones?

Thanks!
____________

Please could someone update this for 4.34 ?

I think I know what to change, but would like it to be confirmed by an expert.

Thanks, Keith

[EDIT]
btw there seems to be some duplication on http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/apps.php
____________

UPDATE:
Here is one for example, just replace names for your os :

The apparent duplications for Enhanced are due to possible differences in the way Linux/X86_64 and Sparc/Solaris systems report their platform information. The platform has to match exactly for the app to be delivered to those systems.

Thanks, I've tried this as displayed in the browseer, and with the tabs as well. I get the following errors:

Could you please post the first few lines, until these two appear, out of the messages tab after a restarting of BOINC. Guess your doing something wrong, because this app_info.xml (stored as textfile and renamed to .xml) is in use successfully.
You did download all the necessary files and stored them in your projects/setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu_beta folder before starting BOINC, didn't you ?

Sorry for the delay, the untested changes "I think look like this."

The hard part will be getting the url references into the correct section. Then the downloads should happen automatically depending on the boinc core client.

So far as I know (and by reference to the working app_info files distributed with optimised applications), the only files you absolutely need to reference are the executables:

astropulse_4.35_windows_intelx86.exe
libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll
ap_graphics_4.35_windows_intelx86.exe

It would be good practice (and legally required under the GPL, if you intend to pass the files on to anyone else) to download the copyright and other ancillary files, but it isn't essential for the app to actually work.

And if you don't reference them in the app_info, then you don't have to worry about all these signatures and urls.

Keep this Wiki page handy when practising. (NB no reference to the <url> construct).

If we're running BOINC v6.2.14 or thereabouts service installs under Windows, will we have to think about sandbox user permissions as described for the Mac version?

There is now an option in http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/prefs.php?subset=project

Run only the selected applications
SETI@home Enhanced: no
Astropulse: yes

If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes

This is also in place on SETI main.

Keith -- You are right about the option being available both in SETI main and SETI Beta, but I seem to have a problem (probably my stupidity) ...

I have two different types of machines running but I cannot dictate which machine(s) get only "enhanced WUs", and which get only "AP WUs". When I try to select the button for the small files/slow machines, it changes all my machines to the slow type. Conversely, if I try to set a fast machine to "AP only", all my machines follow suit.

Is this not because the option is to your seti account and therefore affects all host on that account.

Where as in BOINC the options are to that hosts individually and not your seti account. Could be wrong again.
