Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

Hi Matthieu,
That's definitely the direction to go.
I know procServ is being used for a bunch of different things already,
like running casw to detect and log beacon anomalies, running the CA
Gateway to avoid the half-baked internal restart feature, share telnet
sessions to a VME IOC console connected to a terminal server,...
The major milestone at the horizon is getting it to run on Windows
machines, to finally get reasonable remote access and logging for all
these embedded Windows soft IOCs running in Scopes, LabViews systems and
such. So switching to the autotools framework was really just a first
step ... the code actually doesn't use all these nice defines yet - I
just wanted to have them in place so we can use them where needed.
As for packaging: I have a procServ ticket "add packaging stuff" that's
been sitting there for a while and just moved its target from 2.5 to
2.6, as I wanted to get the release out and the new build system was
more than enough of a change.
Michael Davidsaver has been packaging procServ for Debian here at BNL
for internal use. With his help I started playing with the packaging
stuff, that I'm quite new to. (procServ being a nice candidate, because
it's a really simple package.)
For making procServ work on more platforms and add the packaged
distribution for other distros, we will need more people to contribute
to the code and take responsibility for the packaging.
Thanks for the feedback - your thumbs are highly appreciated!

Hi Ralph,
Have you given thoughts to package procServ for a couple of popular
linux distros? I believe Arch (AUR), Fedora/RHEL (rpmfusion/epel)
Debian (?) provides some level of public repo access.
I cannot think procServ would be something limited to EPICS, but
rather benefit many others + the ease of install/updates from those
repositories (not that I mind building it from src).
from one `two thumbs up!` customer,
Matthieu
