New version released!
A new version of the wrapper has been released. This version, v5.02, tries to address the 64 Windows system problems when deleting the virtual machine.
The new version handles it by removing directly the BOINC_VM folder from your systems. This is working well on GNU/Linux, Windows 32 and Mac OS X. However, there is one step that stills relying on VBoxManage command.
Even though the wrapper deletes the folder, the VM has to be unregistered, so the VBoxManage command is used for this purpose. If this command also fails on 64 bit Windows systems, this version will not fix the problem. However, we have in mind the next steps to solve this problem, if this version does not completely solve it.
Additionally, we want to announce that the source code of the wrapper is publicly available in Google's repository. You can find there other projects, as well as specific documentation of the CernVMwrapper application. Thanks to this publication, you will be able to find more bugs in the code, send patches, and trust the application you are running, as the source code is available. Patches, comments, suggestions are welcomed!
In the repository you can also add bugs, or issues, so we can centralized the wrapper problems, bugs, patches, etc. in a bug track system. This will make easier to follow the evolution of the problems, bugs, patches to volunteers and developers.
You can still free to report about bugs, suggestions, comments, etc. on the forums, but we encourage you to use the issue system if you have found a bug.
Enjoy the new version and happy testing!!
