The linter would be tickled downright pink if you'd replace the 
current SOURCE field with something very similar to:

  (source
    (origin
      (method git-fetch)
      (uri (git-reference
            (url "https://github.com/BOINC/boinc.git")
            (commit (string-append "client-" version))))
      (sha256
       (base32 
       "0blahblahqnjxblaaaaahf2l79ybeepityboop7wh9yayhashies"))))

And so for the server as well.  You'll have to replace (guix 
download) with (guix git-download) and update the hash once more.

Thanks for your first of many patches!
