short question regarding EPICS' build system ...:
whats the difference between DB += myfile.db and DB_INSTALLS += myfile.db ?

Generally:

generate *.db using a large and complex set of rules

vs.

just install a file

DB_INSTALLS is typically used to install Stream protocol files or Access configuration files or ...

anything where applying the *.db generation rules would create havoc.
