Seneca College teams with FOSS projects for hands-on learning

07-21-2008 01:00 PM
Where most computer science departments emphasize theory and mention free and open source software (FOSS) only indirectly, Seneca College in Toronto, Canada, offers a different approach: a hands-on introduction to the community in partnership with the Mozilla and Fedora projects. Now in its third year, the program is expanding rapidly and receiving attention from other academic institutions that hope to imitate it.

NAME

       update-boinc-applinks - create/remove symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications

SYNOPSIS

       update-boinc-applinks [options]

DESCRIPTION

       update-boinc-applinks  creates  (or  removes)  symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications and their associated app_info.xml files in a
       given BOINC data directory.

       Note: update-boinc-applinks is an extension for Debian users and is only available in Debian's boinc-client package.

OPTIONS

       For a full summary of options, run update-boinc-applinks --help.

       -h, --help
	      Show help message and all options.

       --create
	      Create symbolic links and project directories.

       --remove
	      Remove symbolic links and empty project directories.

       --data-dir=DIR
	      Manage symbolic links in the given directory DIR. If this option is not present, DIR defaults to the current working directory.

       --project=PROJECT
	      Manage symbolic links only for the given project PROJECT.  Run update-boinc-applinks --list-projects to get a list of  projects  for
	      which  anonymous applications are available and therefore can be replaced with PROJECT. If this option is not present, update-boinc-
	      applinks will manage symbolic links for all available projects.

       --list-projects
	      Show a list of projects for which anonymous applications are available. Normally those applications are provided by packages  called
	      boinc-app-PROJECT (e.g. boinc-app-seti).
