I know this can't even be acted on for a while, but I'd like to add it to the "to do" list, when things ramp up.

Please enable the merging of computers. Or, if already enabled, please upgrade the server to the latest version. Merging is fixed there.

Thanks!

I think (wish) the server should be upgrated when the team get ready to work at delaware. But isn't merging already enabled with this version? I'm not sure though. What do you mean that the function is broken?

Merging works if everything is exactly identical. However, a while back, new versions of BOINC created slightly different processor descriptions, which sometimes created new hostids. For example:

GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 6 Stepping 4]

GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 6 Stepping 4] [fpu tsc pae nx sse sse2 mmx]

The old merge application on the project server prevents me from merging this same computer. The current version will allow me to merge them.

So, you can merge your hosts on other projects, which have already been upgraded to the latest version of boinc server, right?

Yep. It works on SETI, and all of the newer projects (aps, cosmology, etc).

It would work on any server upgraded to a version 5.11.
