[acg] EPICS directory blown away again

[Michele Joyce]

It’s probably me when I’m converting to csue4 again, but I promise I DID NOT “rm -rf”  !!     this time!

6. “Update your epics support to match the new version of CSUE. While in the dvl/src directory:
rm ../support/epics
make support

----------
When I auto-complete with tab
rm ../support/epics/

I got an error that it was a directory.  Reminded me of my previous mistake.
rm ../support/epics  (this is correct)

Could my initial attempt do damage before erroring out?

If this is the issue – it definitely needs to be more dummy proof, to protect against me.

Subject: [acg] EPICS directory blown away again
Sometime today or yesterday, the directory:

/usr/dvlepics/epics/R3.14.11.J1

was mostly deleted.  The only things remaining were some items in the support directory.  I restored the directory for the latest snapshot.  Can someone please verify that this directory is now whole again?

Also, can we figure out a better permission scheme or figure out what work pattern is suddenly blowing these epics directories away?
