Hello, folks.

I will be installing epics and medm on a bunch of Ubuntu workstations
and I was wondering about the state of Debian and Ubuntu packages and
repositories.  I found this launchpad project:

https://launchpad.net/epics

but I was unclear if there was an Ubuntu repository associated with it.

I also noticed this thread:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2010/msg00582.php

Which led me to these repositories:

http://epics.nsls2.bnl.gov/debian/
http://debian-xray.iit.edu/

What is the status of these repos?  They both seem fairly uptodate.  Are
they fairly dependable?

Would it possible to just upload these packages directly to Debian or
Ubuntu?  Are there any licensing issues?  I would be thrilled if we
could just get these packages in the Debian/Ubuntu mainline.

Thanks so much for the info.

jamie.

PS. Do any of these repositories also included medm packages?
