Many thanks. I have just released a new version with these two changes.

The Theory_2025_08_13_dev.xml is the same as before.


Sorry there was an issue with the release preparation script. It should be resolved now.

I have just updated the vbox image to 7.62. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

With v7.62, the job runs fine but marked as an error. Will continue to investigate.

Do you mean we are supposed to compile it ourselves ? I don't see this here, only windows and android have the 8.2.5 test version ?

Honestly, the only time I tried to compile boinc myself on my mac, even with the help of Sebastien (admin of boinc AF website, WUProp, FB, etc) it was a vast failure...


I see v8.2.5 for Mac on that page. We don't expect you to compile it.

Mac users might want to try the latest client.

This version provides an additional dependency.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the remote desktop is no longer supported. It is not really needed and there are licensing issues with requiring the extension pack to be installed. The graphics option should work and you can view files there. As you mentioned, the runRivet.log can be seen in the slot directory if you wish to monitor the running job.

I will put this in production.

But what does this mean : that here at LHCdev you have to use this wrapper / deploy it with your boinc docker app ?


Yes and we have.

This is a known issue. https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/6141

We have the latest code. I don't think the symlink trick works on Mac. It must be using different a different PATH.
15) Message boards : Theory Application : Checkpoints
Message 8860
Posted 1 Jul 2025 by ProfileLaurence CERN
Checkpoints should be supported. It is something that will need to be working before we release to production.

This version has a new dependency and hopefully will result in less network traffic on startup.

This provides the latest versions of the docker wrapper.
