[Clas_offline] CLASWEB Migration Status...

[Marty Wise]

As of this afternoon, I think most things we’ve tested are working with the
exception of items that depend on Pezca.pm and the underlying EPICS
distribution. Resolution of this issue has been separated into two parts – 

 

*  Immediate Fix – Copying the missing shared libraries and perl bits into a
directory on claswebnew, similar to how it’s currently installed and use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or an equivalent to allow perl to find the EPICS shlibs.

 

* Longer term – It seems sensible to consider maintaining a current EPICS
distribution in central filesystems available throughout CUE. Ideally, we’d
just put the necessary client libraries and utilities in this area and
maintain versions compatible with those in use around the lab. It doesn’t
appear that the base EPICS distribution is divided up into a nice “client”
package, so we’ll probably need to build more of it than desired, but this
may provide a good long term solution for apps requiring CA support
throughout CUE.

 

My hope is to get the immediate fix working by tomorrow morning.

 

Would anyone with EPICS experience be interested in building/maintaining it
on the central fileservers?  

Does anyone have any suggestions for better ways to handle this?

Am I being naïve? Will this be more trouble than it’s worth?

 

Marty
