Why use this package?

Asked by Ken Sharp on 2013-10-29

A query: why should I install this package? What advantage does it have over letting BOINC download the application from the server?

Please stop answering questions if you do not know what you are talking about.

The correct answer is:

The SETI app is pre-built for new architectures. This is more useful in Debian than it is in Ubuntu. It saves messing around with source codes.
