Several other changes between the current port versions and these new ones are worth noting: 1. The /usr/local/boinc directory has been eliminated. The former contents are now in: /usr/local/bin /usr/local/include/BOINC /usr/local/lib/boinc /var/db/projects/* This was required to simplify the ports of other client apps which expect these more standard install locations. 2. The main shell script to run boinc has been renamed from "boinc-client" to just "boinc". 3. The boinc and client apps are now installed using simpler names like "foo", rather than "foo-vers-portbld-freebsdx.x". 4. The rc.d/boinc.sh shell script to start boinc at boot time has been made common to all versions of FreeBSD, and the code to stop boinc has been cleaned up. 5. The GUI management interface is included as "boincmgr". Read the man page regarding proper setup of your xhost permissions in order to get the GUI status screens to work. 6. The split use of "foo" and "foo.so" for the main client app and its graphics lib is supported. However this does not currently work for the SETI app, so SETI is compiled as a single monolithic "foo" at the moment. It does work for the forthcoming EAH app, though. -jr
