Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hello Lucas

I own the 2^nd repository J. For me I always had the idea of creating an online repo hosted here at SESAME but never got the time to work on it, but for now, all of our machine and beamlines IOCs are running using these RPMs, the setup is even working perfectly for Rocky Linux 8. To help automate building and publishing RPMs, I wrote two scripts (fetch.sh and build.sh) which fetch latest version of all modules, build and package them as RPMs, so I think that would be a good starting point. For us we will continue working internally on RPM packaging especially as we are migrating to Rocky Linux 8, but if there is really an interest in pushing this work further to official repositories, we are more than interested to collaborate.

I plan to re-build all RPMs because more servers and PCs have been migrated to Rocky Linux, once I finish I will share my results here for anyone interested.

Best Regards,

Abdalla.
