I agree. This supports my earlier statement
to beamline_controls this AM.
If explicit versions of extra stuff necessary to build
epics/exten/xyzExten were stated, that would save mucho time for CATs
just now configuring a new system. Local distribution of configured
"extra stuff" (e.g. perl above) is an extra, but maybe just a pointer
as to where to find the right "extra stuff" is all that's needed. Now,
if that "extra stuff" is no longer available, the developer of xyzExten
should provide it (or update and include the newer version).
