+<h1>Build clients for all platforms</h1>
+For each platform your project supports (e.g.: i686-pc-linux,
+sun-sparc-solaris2.7, sun-sparc-solaris2.8, intelx86_windows), you must
+compile the core client.

+<h1>Update project database</h1>
+
+The BOINC server keeps track of core client platforms and versions so that
+users may download the latest version. For each client compiled, put the
+package in the master server's <code>boinc/apps/</code> directory and
+run <code>boinc/tools/update_versions</code>.  For Windows and Macintosh, the
+files are self-extracting executables; for Unix they are .gz files which can
+be run directly after ungzipping.
