Almost forgot to mention that currently the boinc-astropulse port can
only be built *with* the screen saver, so it will drag in extra
build/run dependencies.

May I direct your attention to the Lunatic's website where they provide
an optimized 64-bit version of the Astropulse client.
http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;catd=38
It has been tried and tested for at least 6 months and the results
verified. It's also 4-5 times faster than the original client.

I see. You can of course use those binaries if you like.

The goal of the port and those binaries are different: the binaries are indeed
optimized for SSE2 and SSE3 enabled 64-bit (amd64) machines and will not
run on other machines. The port is more like a wrapper around the native
source code so it will run on any FreeBSD machine.

I guess the optimizations from Lunatic also make their way back into the
official source code?

That's true and the optimizations from Lunatics usually find their way
into the official code over time.

I just slightly changed the Makefile and files/pkg-install.in of both
boinc-astropulse
and boinc-setiathome to set the owner and group of app_info.xml to $BOINC_USER
and $BOINC_GROUP instead of root:nobody. This is analogous to the other boinc
ports.
