mprime from git

On the mprime repository on github https://github.com/rudimeier/mprime/


the PRP worktype is not implemented:


#define PRIMENET_WORK_TYPE_PRP 150 /* Unimplmented */


Question: what look like the data structure to communicate with primenet for a PRP work unit?

That mirror is 2 years out of date. The latest sources might be useful: https://www.mersenne.org/download/


mlucas includes a python script that handles communicating with primenet for LL. A little modification will make it work for PRP in theory, but unless something's changed in the last 6 months I seem to recall the request is acknowledged by the server but an exponent is not returned (you have to log on to mersenne.org and check your manual exponent list).

Yes. That was the status when I tried out the procedure with the python script, exponents have been assigned on the primenet page but not returned to the program as response.


Effectively the up-to-date source has PRP implemented I think. There is a last issue with HTTP vs. HTTPS ...
