Hi,

with "epicsmng configureioc" you can do something similar: it automatically

modifies configure/RELEASE to use a different collection of modules.

See: https://github.com/darcato/epicsmng

Hi Mike,

    Do you have to keep /my_epics_location environment variable?

    If not, why not simple change EPICS_BASE?

    The following example may help you to find out solutions in your
situation :

For example, if I currently have:
EPICS_BASE=/my_epics_location/epics/R3.14.12.7/base

but I want to be able to change the location of /my_epics_locationon the
fly  (perhaps because I want to use a different version of EPIS) by
setting an environment variable $MY_EPICS_LOCATION,

then how would I pick up the environment variable value in
configure/RELEASE?

I feel like I should know this, but I guess I haven't ever had reason to
do it before.
