recipe for recordwhat

We also have a fork of this on NSLS-II, but target this at Ken's repo.

Seems like a good project. Someone will be assigned to create a recipe/feedstock in https://github.com/nsls-ii-forge for the project as an exercise to learn conda-smithy: https://nsls-ii-forge.github.io/docs.

@jklynch, do you mind to take care of it?

[jklynch]

Hi Maksim, I will package recordwhat. There is no PyPI package or recipe that I could find. I will use event-model as a template, unless you are aware of an existing package. Josh

attn @klauer about getting a pypi package.

[klauer]

Is it being used, or can we just drop it altogether @tacaswell? I've found a lot of recordwhat to be unusably old and broken...

[tacaswell]

If you don't think it is useful anymore we can drop it, but I think we still want to be able to parse db/dbd files....

[klauer]

I think all recordwhat's grammar definitions of db/dbd are slightly off.

At some point, it might be interesting to base a more complete version on https://github.com/epicsdeb/pypdb , though there's a lot of work there in making it readable/maintainable/user-friendly.
