Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

One of the areaDetector optional plugins is in areaDetector/ADPluginEdge.  Its CONFIG_SITE contains this line:

 

INSTALL_LOCATION=$(AREA_DETECTOR)/ADCore

 

It thus installs its library, dbd, and .template file into ADCore. 

 

Much to my surprise running “make uninstall” on EPICS 7 at the top level of ADPluginEdge deletes the ADCore/configure directory!  Needed to run “git checkout master .” to recover it.

 

I have removed that line from CONFIG_SITE because I don’t think it is what we really want to do anyway, but this definitely seems like a dangerous bug in EPICS 7.  That directory could have had local edits that were lost.
