Comment:
removed build from source instructions, which are not BOINC-specific

  
  This Wiki has a dedicated page on ATIstream/OpenCL intallation instructions. We prepared a package DebianPkg:boinc-amd-opencl but are currently not shipping it since the AMD packages had issues. This, as a meta package, drags in the dependencies but otherwise has no extra functionality on its own. On amd64, it also installs the 32bit libraries, but other than for NVidia, it uses the multiarch principle.
  
- === Installation from source ===
- 
- To install the BOINC packages from source, a `deb-src` line pointing to Debian's main archive must be present in your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file. Also make sure that you have the `build-essential` and `fakeroot` packages installed on your system. Curiosity is a good motivation to inspect and compile the source. Whenever you feel more serious to improve or to port the code to a novel platform please check out the aforementioned [[http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org|Alioth project]] that offers a Git/Subversion repository with the latest source and a technically easier way to communicate your changes back to us. The BOINC[[/Development]] pages present more detailed instructions.
- 
-  1. Prepare a source directory and download the BOINC source package and it's build dependencies: {{{
- mkdir -p ~/src/boinc
- cd !$
- apt-get build-dep boinc
- apt-get source boinc
- }}}
- 
-  1. Change to the BOINC directory and build the sources. Before running `dpkg-buildpackage` you can apply patches to the BOINC source or set compiler flags to optimize the BOINC core client. {{{
- cd boinc-X.Y.Z/
- dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
- }}}
- 
-  1. After `dpkg-buildpackage` successfully finishes the build you can install your custom built packages: {{{
- cd ~/src/boinc
- dpkg -i boinc-client_X.Y.Z-R_ARCH.deb boinc-manager_X.Y.Z-R_ARCH.deb
- }}}
- 
- If `dpkg-buildpackage` fails to build the BOINC packages this probably indicates a bug in our sources and it is worth reporting it to the pkg-boinc-devel mailing list pkg-boinc-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.
