That's great - but there's also a reference under 'Notes:' (second major section - second line) - a reference to changing the (now removed) platform tags. I think that whole line is now redundant and can be removed - no replacement needed.
I've now updated the BOINC Wiki myself.

The FAQ (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/astropulse_faq.php) is a bit odd - it seems to have gone back to an old version "An app_info.xml file will be made available here", replacing the link to the Advanced Users page which was there previously. But the deadline is still stated to be 14 days, which has never been true for all the nine months that AP has been running.
But my link, and concern, was about the Advanced Users page, which has live download links to extremely old applications and the sample (pre-optimisation) app_info files which Urs and I wrote.

Ah - yes, my mistake. Your 'new' version (ap_faq) is the one which is currently linked from the front page: and that's a problem, because it has the live link to the advanced stuff, which is by now frankly rubbish. It should be removed and de-linked.
And the FAQ still says the deadline is 14 days.
Pappa:
Okay, in the NC forum, a machine that had a corrupt/missing Optimized App attempted to download the missing file.

Pappa:
Okay this works
The first time Boinc complains it can not find the files and then starts the D/L
It then complains

Pappa:
With the various stop and restarts that I went through, anything from Seti is going to look for a Signing Key, because the MD5 checksum "matched" it kept the files in place (after the restart). The client_state.xml was fine (contained no errors) and matched what was in the app_info.xml
Yes I am going to be told to trim the app_info.xml again.
What this tells me is if there is a repository for Lunatics Apps and the url and MD5 checksum are written to the app_info.xml the a corrupt file might easily be replaced. I am going to guess that if the files are located at some location other than seti or a project that requires signing the signature checking will not be forced. The MD5 checksum verifies the file came down correctly.
