I'm not sure if the code you referenced is the correct code. According
to the forums the original code didn't have a licence and the newer code
hasn't been released yet, at least that's what I got from the reading
the threads. There really is nothing made clear on the subject.
I've asked for a little clarity but with no response so far:
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=576
I tried building the code from github but it can't find libraries, uses
old libraries.... a bit of a nightmare. Probably isn't much point in
using that code until someone officially tells us what is going on.

Hi Ken
thanks for your report.
Unfortunately I tried some time ago to package again milkyway with the new code
hosted here [1]
Code that I think is the official client one.
Anyway I'm just stuck with some errors when I run the package with boinc, and I get only
"computation errors" messages.
I also asked two pull requests [2], to fix a build failure and a potential
security issue.
Nobody replied so far.
What can I do? Fix everything without upstream support?
I can, but I don't have time and man power for making the package stable
without looking really deeply at the code.
I'll try again with the last milkyway code, can you please try to have a better
contact with upstream?
thanks

Package: boinc-app-milkyway
Version: 0.18d-4
The current version supplied by boinc-app-milkyway appears to run fine
on armel but:
1. The estimated runtime is always way off.
2. The results are always invalid.
3. It's a really old version: there will be many changes between 0.18
and the current upstream 1.x branch which will fix a lot of bugs.
If there is anything further needed then please let me know.
