Hi, all,

So first of all we thank Andrew Johnson very much for reviewing all the

code. We know how much work this has been. Our suggested changes are the

first approach for vxWorks which have been tested but are not perfectly

adapted to the current EPICS standards. Any more comments and discussion

are welcome.

Regards

Bernd Schoeneburg and Gongfa Liu

DESY have asked to be integrated into Base which are required to be able

to create redundant IOCs. The redundancy subsystem itself is a separate

module which redundant IOC applications must link to; these patches only

provide hooks into Base at appropriate locations.

accepted that we want to make it possible for redundant IOCs to be

created without having to patch Base itself, so we'll have to suggest

some alternative technique to anything that we don't like.

the facilities being added and the proposed implementation. I am

attaching Gongfa Liu's description of the changes to this email, and I

will send out the changes in subsequent emails, grouped by subsystem. I

will also be commenting on the changes myself, in a separate message

(probably tomorrow).
