The berkeley open infrastructure for network computing (boinc) is a software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer resources.

this package contains unstripped versions of all binaries included in the boinc client packages. it is provided primarily to provide a backtrace with names in a debugger, this makes it somewhat easier to interpret core dumps. for installations running a boinc server locally, it may be of interest to also install the boinc-server-dbg package.
