  • % Done changed from 0 to 10
  • Creation: Not tested yet
  • Checks: No support
  • Admin accept: No support
  • Submit for BOINC: Some support, this will have to be divided into two cases:
    1. Copy-and-use: Libraries that are directly copied into (a possible subdir of) the rendering directory and used from there. This should work with the current clients and should serve well as a test-case for the rest of the features.
    2. Unpack: Libraries that must be unpacked into (a possible subdir of) the rendering directory and used from there
      BOINC supports the first but we will have to provide support for the latter through Glue (and hence an extension of the core submit script).
Relevant things to look into with regard to copy-and-use libraries:
  • Can we use openname with copy in the file struct to have boinc move files into subdirs?
  • The core must use the session-specific name for the copied file

Idea: Instead of using a setup file for the files that need to be unpacked they could simply be given good reference names (i.e. unzip0 1 2 etc.)

Copy-and-use texture linking is being tested with no paths in session 1042.

The core must use the session-specific name for the copied file

This is taken care of.
