Description Tom Chiverton 2010-01-16 17:13:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
Boinc 6.6 has a scheduler bug, as per http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=923 (etc) that prevents it fetch new work e.g. SETI@home workunits

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
boinc-client-6.6.37-2.r18632svn.fc11.x86_64


How reproducible:
Until I replaced boinc-client and boinccmd with those from http://boincdl3.ssl.berkeley.edu/mirror/boinc_6.10.17_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh no work was downloaded. Replaced binaries files, then ran 
#cd /var/lib/boinc/ ; boinccmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ update
and now work is being run

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install boinc-client
2. Join setiathome
3. Wait
  
Actual results:
No work is done

Expected results:
Work is done
Comment 1 Milos Jakubicek 2010-01-16 17:23:06 UTC 
There is boinc 6.10 in updates-testing, does it work for you?
Try:
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update boinc-client'
Comment 2 Tom Chiverton 2010-01-16 18:19:43 UTC 
Installs, run, says it's doing SETI units. Doing the 'update' boinccmd again says:
16-Jan-2010 18:17:43 [SETI@home] update requested by user
16-Jan-2010 18:17:47 [SETI@home] Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
16-Jan-2010 18:17:47 [SETI@home] Not reporting or requesting tasks
16-Jan-2010 18:17:52 [SETI@home] Scheduler request completed

So I guess it is working.
IMHO this needs pushing out fairly soon...
