Is there another location that has them or is there a workaround? I would like to bring the BOINC app up to date. Thanks for any help on this. ID: 116953 ·      Reply Quote

You could build from source? It is a bit of a learning curve but that is the route I would go down. ID: 116960 ·      Reply Quote
