1) Message boards : RALPH@home bug list : alt_platform not honoured (Message 3994) Posted 5 May 2008 by mirabilos Post: This is EXACTLY what alt_platform is for. MirBSD can execute applications for MirBSD, OpenBSD 3.8, and Linux. The alt_platform says it can run i686-pc-linux-gnu applications, but is ignored by RALPH. If I run a hacked BOINC which reports i686-pc-linux-gnu INSTEAD of i386-ecce-mirbsd as platform, I get WUs, process them, return them, and they validate. So there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to not send out WUs to MirBSD clients.
2) Message boards : RALPH@home bug list : alt_platform not honoured (Message 3930) Posted 20 Apr 2008 by mirabilos Post: Some minirosetta-1.13 results on MirBSD succeed (if I patch the BOINC binary to identify itself as Linux). Thus I urge you to fix that on the server. One of the validated examples: http://ralph.bakerlab.org/result.php?resultid=922456
3) Message boards : RALPH@home bug list : Bug Reports for Rosetta Mini Versions 1.+ (Message 3872) Posted 10 Apr 2008 by mirabilos Post: Had 20 work units fail with same error <core_client_version>5.10.45</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process exited with code 1 (0x1, -255) </message> <stderr_txt> End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of minirosetta_database_rev20940.zip or minirosetta_database_rev20940.zip.zip, and cannot find minirosetta_database_rev20940.zip.ZIP, period.

The ZIP archive extracts just fine in both cases by the way.
4) Message boards : RALPH@home bug list : alt_platform not honoured (Message 3860) Posted 9 Apr 2008 by mirabilos Post: I have BOINC running and reporting back to, for example, the Sudoku Project. Now, the scheduler request for this project contains: <scheduler_request> … <platform_name>i386-ecce-mirbsd</platform_name> <alt_platform> <name>i686-pc-linux-gnu</name> </alt_platform> … </scheduler_request> But the server responds with: platform 'i386-ecce-mirbsd' not found SZTAKI Desktop Grid, ABC@home and Riesel Sieve have the same problems; I reported it there too. Please fix your server.
