RE: User's Guide on EPICS Build System

["W. Stephen Syrett" <w.s.syrett@larc.nasa.gov>]

We here at NASA Langley Research Center are attempting to do just what
people are taliking about in this thread. Honestly, we've been sort of
amazed at the process and we've decided to take our whack at it.

I realize that there are probably as many opinions about how this process
ought to work as there are members in the Collaboration (probably more ..
I've got several opinions myself). But we'd like to get your insights. The
lead folk here at Langley who are intimately involved with this process
(among other tasks) are Anna Estes and Kerry Gough with E-mails of

         a.m.estes@larc.nasa.gov    
         k.m.gough@larc.nasa.gov 

respectively. Please send your ideas to them (or me). When we get enough
information together, we'll post a digest to tech-talk.

We also anticipate, probably sometime in mid-January, having some of our
documentation on the build process up on a Web site (which is still under
construction). We'll send out a message when there is something to look at.
We'd appreciate your feedback.
