Hi all,
I'm looking at some use of eget in user scripts here, and notice it looks like it's been removed as one of the bundled command line tools in recent EPICS versions, and also placed in its own separate git repo.
https://github.com/epics-base/eget
Back in 2018 the eget code was moved to a separate repository,
along with an older version of the pv* CLI tools.
https://github.com/epics-base/pvAccessCPP/pull/129
So just a basic question - will eget continue to be actively maintained/supported going forward? Or is it intended to be mostly deprecated in favor of another suggested tool at this point?
The eget CLI in particular was not getting much attention. It has
a vast number of argument permutations, mostly undocumented, and
unexplored in testing. Unsurprisingly a number of bugs exist.
The hope at the time was that someone (probably at SLAC) would take
up maintenance of this tool. However, to my knowledge this has
not happened.
So at present, my advise would be to use the pv* CLI tools being
installed by the pvAccessCPP module.
