Re: [gentoo-amd64] boinc

I hope something gets worked out.  I also had boinc/setiathome running on 
my amd64 system but it broke when seti released a new version of their 
software.  The portage versions have not kept up with seti and I tried to 
create a local overlay to try new versions but ended up with the 
unsupported version problem.  I just don't understand what needs to be 
changed to get it to work again.  I wish someone with more understanding 
could get gentoo to support amd64.  (Yes, there is probably a fix buried 
somewhere in the forums or in a bug report, but they are still work 
around for the fact that emerge setiathome fails to create a viable 
system on amd64.)

Good luck.
