I have prodded Joseph about creating an rpm build server, but I know he is very busy and such is a lower priority.

The main/master branches on github are development branches. There are tags for the released builds. Making a correct rpm package is non-trivial. I would encourage you to build it from source and examine its contents. If you think something is missing from the rpm package built from source, please c...

Nobody should be packaging alpha builds, which are frequently broken. Bleeding edge builds even more so.

v8.3.8 is broken in multiple ways on all platforms.

There is a new alpha up, if you're willing to live dangerously.
If there are errors, please also try the debug package.

To help as an alpha tester, you are encouraged to optionally create a GitHub account and follow the discussion:

If you are using remote desktop software and looking at the first machine, you are indeed looking at a remote client's log.

Third is disconnected remote machines. There is a bug where machines can lose their node connection at zero hours UTC. This is probab...

If you are running on Linux, you can optionally purge v7 after installing v8.

Only a few settings will be picked up.

That script that patches the plist is only needed for v7.

The launchctl unload/load does a stop/start.

This might be the network not ready when client launches bug. https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/issues/223 There have been DNS improvements in alpha v8.3.7. It works fine on Mac. May be broken on Windows/Linux. https://foldingathome.org/alpha/ Please try it and let us know how it go...

My Macs disconnect for about 2.5 minutes at zero hours. But they always seem to reconnect on their own.

Does it connect if you restart the windows client?

This sounds like the node disconnect at 0:00 UTC bug.

Not currently, but I wrote a python utility.

See https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-cl ... issues/119

I would recommend you do not purge v8, unless you are quitting fah on that machine.
