[lsst-dm-stack-users] Some notes about eups manual on LSST

[Fabrice Jammes]

Hello,

1. The LSST manual page relative to eups installation
(https://dev.lsstcorp.org/trac/wiki/EupsManual#SECTION00040000000000000000)
needs to be updated. Indeed it points to an obsolete tar.gz version and
code repository. Robert Lupton The Good gave the correct informations
about these pointer in his answer to ticket 3052
https://dev.lsstcorp.org/trac/ticket/3052

2. Furthermore it seems eups build depends on next packages :
sudo apt-get install texlive-binaries texlive-latex-base
It would be good to make these dependencies optional so that no root
access are required to build and install eups.
For example the documentation could be made also available in markdown or
rst (sphinx source) format ?

If you're short on manpower or have a busy schedule, i can work either on
point 1. or 2.

Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice day,

Fabrice
