Re: Clone link update on epics-controls

Hi Timo,

I’m sure I updated those APS site pages a few years ago, feel free to copy and adjust as you see fit. There’s also wording about version numbers on the top-level Base page which is no longer true (Lewis pointed that out the other day).

Thanks,

- Andrew

Subject: Clone link update on epics-controls

 

Hi,

 

The clone links at https://epics-controls.org/resources-and-support/base/ still point to Launchpad.

 

Just to check before I change, is this the correct replacement:

 

Old: “git clone -b 7.0 https://git.launchpad.net/epics-base base-7.0”

New: “git clone -b 7.0 https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base.git”

 

Similarly for 3.15.

 

Also, the texts say “Latest” for EPICS 7 and “Stable” for 3.15.

I would like to change these as well, at least to clearly indicate that EPICS 7 is stable, and 3.15 is “legacy”…

 

e.g., EPICS 7: “Latest stable”, EPICS 3.15: “Legacy”.

 

Opinions?

 

Timo
