I am considering switching the StreamDevice links on the EPICS website
to point to the synApps github repo, since your releases have been an
unfortunate cause of confusion and time-wasting for many new EPICS users
like Peter and Yong.

I understand that the module is designed to be able to build on both
Base-3.14 and Base-3.13, but I suspect that only PSI uses StreamDevice
on Base-3.13.  The rest of the community would much prefer to download a
standard 3.14 module, edit the configure/RELEASE file and run 'make'.
Since you now use git which supports submodules, would you consider
using something like that to make releases that build under Base-3.14
and higher right out of the box?
