Re: Fwd: Re: EDM on stretch

[Anton Derbenev via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hello Lewis, John, Christoph,

thanks for your comments and insights - at this moment, we were able to have edm built for Debian 9 internally using the mentioned fork. The package should be available in our stretch staging mirror once that is synchronized (overnight). There are no plans to use it as a baseline viewer solution, just an accommodation for a specific case (building and publishing it is a good bonus). Few notes:

1) I tested that it launches, but no further - will be some time to verify it on some actual screen collection.

2) The patch queue has a patch that has no ownership information.

3) As Lewis suggested, a pull request to epicsdeb edm may be a good idea. There is an outstanding upstream branch PR which doesn't include pristine-tar and debian/ stuff and is likely to be superseded.

Regards!

Anton.

Did you submit those patches upstream?  If they are of general use, it
would be great if you could so that everyone could benefit!

Thanks!
