* biology/linux-foldingathome needs to run as root?Edwin Groothuis2007-09-233-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (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.
