Description

We present rsync-dist, a tool to deploy build artefacts from an EPICS
application to remote servers. It uses ssh for authentication and
authorization, log files for auditing, and supports unlimited rollback. In
contrast to standard CI tools, its use is decoupled from source version
control to allow developers to easily install test and debug versions of
their software.
