+ There are first preliminary efforts to employ the boinc-server-maker package as a binary dependency to other packages which then implement a complete boinc project. To achieve that, the current (still experimental) approach is to follow the instructions of the ServerGuide in the post-install script.

  This page is intended to help organising the development of the server package, for which also ''your'' help for all technical issues and beyond is much appreciated. For a start, this page gathers rather general information about setting up BOINC servers on Debian.
