NEW Arch User Repository foldingathome

Post by pcwolf »

Just today downloaded a package update which showed a new maintainer has just updated FAH after a few years of sitting idle.

Arch User Repository (AUR) FAH version "foldingathome" installation requiring uninstallation of 7.6.21 then reinstalling from AUR.

Version called 8-4 and is monitored by the following URL: v8-4.foldingathome.org

This is folding gangbusters ... first look appears about 10% boost over 7.6.21 Arch package. Whether or not it is truly 8-4, it is the cat's pajamas.

I wouldn't call this move "odd" but rather "stupid' ...
