Hi Han,

CONFIG_SITE_ENV is always needed to be changed. There is no local file
support. If you can make this happen, it would be greatly appreciated.

I agree that this file should have .local support, but I don’t think you should be relying on it (see below).


However, I still think we need an option to override the message which
is shown in the running IOC, because it gives operators or others
wrong signs about the quality of EPICS base.

I recommend that you make the changes you need to the CONFIG_SITE_ENV and any other files, and commit them to a local branch (note that to commit files matching configure/*.local you would have to use git add —force so I would recommend modifying the other files anyway). This will remove the -dirty flag and also give you a local tag (e.g. 7.0.4.1-ESS-1) which captures all the local changes you need to make for a new release and will appear in your git version number.
