Description:
Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved. Protein folding is linked to disease, such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers. Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many cancers and cancer-related syndromes.

Quick start =========== Here is a list of steps to quickly get started with Folding@home on FreeBSD: 1. Mount linprocfs(5) in /compat/linux/proc. 2. Mount linsysfs(5) in /compat/linux/sys. 3. Enable the fahclient service: sysrc fahclient_enable=YES 4. Consider setting Folding@home donor name and team ID: sysrc fahclient_donor=my_fah_username sysrc fahclient_team=0 Team 0 means "no team", by default fahclient joins team FreeBSD (11743). 5. Start the service: service fahclient start At this point, the daemon should be up and folding. Additional notes ================ - The current status of folding can be inspected by running the following command: service fahclient log - The default working directory for fahclient is /var/db/fahclient. In order to function properly, fahclient requires its working directory to be on a partition/dataset with execute permissions on. For example if /var/db is on a ZFS dataset with exec=off, then /var/db/fahclient needs to have exec=on. Note, that usually the permissions are on unless the system configuration was modified by the administrator. - By default the FreeBSD team (team id 11743) is joined. This can be overridden by changing the configuration in rc.conf: sysrc fahclient_team=0 The service has to be restarted to pick up the change. Statistics for the FreeBSD team can be viewed here: https://stats.foldingathome.org/team/11743 - Team and donor configuration values in /usr/local/etc/fahclient/config.xml take precedence over those configured in rc.conf using sysrc. - It's possible to specify additional flags in rc.conf. Those take precedence over what is configured in the config file, e.g., setting the maximum number of cpus to be used: sysrc fahclient_flags+=" --cpus=7" Flags that are set this way will be overridden by settings in /usr/local/etc/fahclient/config.xml. You can set fahclient_extra_flags to override settings in /usr/local/etc/fahclient/config.xml: sysrc fahclient_extra_flags+=" --cpus=7" - You can check the actual configuration values applied with: service fahclient showconfig - More information about configuring and running the Folding@home software is available on those websites: - https://foldingforum.org/ - https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Style: improve ONLY_FOR_ARCHS_REASON (grammar, markup, etc.)

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS_REASON is used as part of the sentence and thus should
start with lower-case letter and not end with a period which is added
by the framework, similar to other knobs like BROKEN, IGNORE, et al.

While here, remove needless quoting, add missing Oxford comma, expand
contractions and jargonisms, use correct spelling for proper names.

biology/linux-foldingathome: Update to 7.6.21

Unfortunately, this version of FAHClient is not able to daemonize
successfully anymore. Even though the --daemon flag is passed, FAHClient
does not detach from the controlling terminal. In addition to that it
does not go into background. The --log seems to be broken as well as
since all the logs are printed to the terminal instead of the log file.

In order to alleviate those problems, use daemon(8).

biology/linux-foldingathome needs to run as root?
(also: update to 5.0.4)

        Upon installing FoldingAtHome I ran the software from a
        user account only to find that I was stuck in a loop of
        trying to enter configuration options. Shortly thereafter
        I realized that it was trying to write to
        /usr/local/share/foldingathome, and therefore requires being
        run as root to write there unless one changes permissions
        there. Seing as this isn't installed with a startup script
        for daemonization, and running as root seems a little
        excessive for this application, should this be adapted to
        run from a user account or set up to be able to start at
        boot?

And from maintainer:

        This diff updates the port to version 5.04, and adds
        support to running as normal user using ~/.fah
        directory.
