Automatically build consistent sets of EPICS support modules
Project description
The support module manager sumo is a program to build consistent sets of EPICS support modules and use them in EPICS applications.
EPICS is the Experimental Physics Industrial Control System, see also: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics
Some of the features are:
All module dependencies are held in a JSON dependency database.
The dependency database can be managed automatically with a version control system in order to keep it in sync on a number of build hosts.
In order to migrate your existing support module installation a scanner program creates a dependency database from existing support directories.
The program builds consistent sets of EPICS support modules.
The program fetches module source code from various sources, directories, tar files or version control systems (currently git, mercurial, darcs, subversion and cvs).
If a set of support modules is to be used in an application a RELEASE is generated with all the relevant paths.
