Re: enable pvAccess by default

[Han Lee via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

I added this subject into an agenda for the upcoming Coderaton at BNL.

BTW, we (ALS-U) use our own template folder to generate our consistent IOC and application directory structure with additional scripts. That is the exact same workflow, which Ralph suggested.

However, from my view, we can just redesign (add a few lines, and change variables a bit) templates/makeBaseApp/top/iocApp/src/Makefile and iocBoot/st.cmd@Cross and st.cmd@common to support pvaccess easily.

Best,

Han

Note that the template mechanism for makeBaseApp is specifically designed for users to add their own templates.

If you have five things you always need to add to the ioc template, create your own, starting from a copy of the ioc template. Most of the EPICS facilities I know and worked with have their own set of templates.
