A "standard" beamline config #101

Closed danielballan closed 8 years ago

danielballan commented 8 years ago

@dchabot and I came to the conclusion that the best form for this is a set of files under version control -- a small repo. There could be a standard 00-startup.py along with some additional files giving commented-out examples of common configurations: defining widely-used Devices, defining plans, adding subscriptions.

This should not be distributed through conda. As discussed many times before, there is no perfectly reliable standard, and it has to be easy to jump in and edit these things.

@dchabot Can you take the lead on this? Note the "Deployment Details" section of the docs, which gives among other things an up-to-date approach to configuring the Olog.

Will do. Note, I'm away until Monday.

Enjoy your time off!

Doing this would probably be useful for the new tutorial material also.

We have a documented standard that has been deployed by copy/paste everything. It's hard to pin down much more than that, short of using the problematic git submodules feature, so I'm closing this for now.
