I've succeeded in building production and development versions of our
EPICS software on clas10 (a HP700). I am proposing that we move there
for all future development work. I'd like people to start migrating,
so that we can start to deal with the inevitable teething problems. To
use the new directories, log into clas10 and use the following alias:
alias setup_epics "source /apps/epics/setup/setup_epics"
for your "setup_epics" command. In fact, for now I have the following
lines in my .cshrc:
if ($HOST == clas10) then
alias setup_epics "source /apps/epics/setup/setup_epics"
else
alias setup_epics "source /usr/site2/epics_physics/hallb/setup/setup_epics"
endif
With the new setup_epics, things should look just as they did
before, with the exception of the IOC initialization scripts. They
will still be governed by the .cshrc of the clasrun account on clas10,
and must be switched over by changing that file. At this writing, I've
only switched over clas-sc12. (Note further that clas_sc3 isn't even
in .cshrc yet. Yannick, Scott and I yet to deal with it.)
The real switch will occur when we cut over to using the cvs
repository in /apps/epics/cvs mounted on clas10 rather than the one in
/usr/site2/epics_physics/cvsroots mounted on cebafh. Since at any given
time we can only tolerate one authoritative repository, I am declaring
that
******************************************************
* the switchover will occur on Saturday, February 1. *
******************************************************
All cvs commits done before then in epics_physics/cvsroots will be
honored and commits done before then in epics/cvs will be ignored. And
naturally, after and including Feb. 1, epics/cvs will count, and
epics_physics/cvsroots will not be used.
There are still lots of reference to /usr/site2 right now. We will
have to weed these out as we go. We are not dismounting the disk yet.
Mike Johnson has fixed clas10 so that it can host x-sessions, so now
you can log in directly from the chooser. Thanks Mike.
