Common HEP UNIX Environment
Warning: this page is under construction
Project
The HEPiX scripts project is providing a
Common HEP UNIX Environment. Today
it consists of two environments:
Versions
The current version in production is referenced as
3.0.1 and is just a big fix version for the
3.0 major release.
It replaces the previous 2.5.1 version which will not be supported anymore
before the end of 1995.
This 3.0 new version is a major new release as it contains the shell login
scripts and the new X11 login scripts. A full reorganisation had been
undertaken on the architectural point of view. The shell part of the package
consists only in bug fixes, improvements of some features and optimisation.
The X11 part is new and provides the first implementation of an HEP X11
environment.
This new version is already deployed now on various services at
CERN and at INFN Pisa.
Documentation
The documentation consists now on several documents. Some are not yet available
but the most important ones are now in an acceptable state for release.
As it is difficult for the author(s) to understand what you don't understand,
any remark on the documentation is welcome and we hope to improve it and
add your contributions.
