Dear all

I have been working with our Debian expert on packaging for Debian 9,

and we are in general having success.

(I also vote for a public EPICS Debian repository or even better real

Debian integration).

However, a number of the packages we are interested in (asyn, calc and

stream) depend on the rterms package, which seems to be broken.

We have been able to built the modules by hacking the Debian dependency

files, and it then seems that the build system lives with the missing

rterms package.

As I understand the rterms package it is for supporting different boards

and not relevant if EPICS ioc's are to be run as soft ioc's on a full

Linux.

I was wondering if anyone else have come up with a better solution for

disabling the rterms dependency, or fixing the rterms package so that it

builds.

Best
Bo

I have been looking for a good way to integrate EPICS with our debian
based linux system utilizing debian's package system, which this project
nicely provides (thank you).

FYI, we're building packages with packaging mostly cloned from:

https://github.com/epicsdeb

and distributing via internal archives.

It would be so great if we could actually get this stuff pushed into
Debian proper.

jamie.
