Well, today was a bit of a successful day. I got a new version of kmymoney into the tree so that all those financial people are up to the minute with the lastest and greatest simple single user money management software is available. Its only been out for two weeks but hey..still want to latest. I’m so the typical dev who uses ~arch when running applications.

The other was working on an update to the boinc software. As we as a distro are still at 5.4.11. 5.5 as anyone who’s tried it, doesn’t have the ca-bundle.crt in place so you have to grab it manually and work from there. I’ve taken what one user did as a direct bump of 5.5 and modified it to actually work slightly better. The most obvious change is the new gui. The minimal information is quite nice. It gives you everything you really want to know without being annoying about it. As well it feels like projects finish quicker.

The best feature of it though is that it raises the claimed points for linux users to be more in line with windows clients. Thus overall you’ll get more points. I know stat whore moment for me. I’m having an issue with it and graphics for the actually program. Not sure if its just fight aids at home or all projects that will have the issue. If you want to really try it you’ll need to get the tarball from my site currently and the ebuild as well.

Those of course are located hereand of coursehere. I’ll talk with cryos as soon as I can about it and see what he has on it. As I’m sure he knows if there’s still projects that don’t work with the 5.8 builds on linux. We’ll see thought and I’ll try and push it in as soon as I can. Cause I know I’d like the updated client in the tree.
