[ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [ion] 26032: - Tree cleanups proposed on the mailing list. Move all non-Core OS modules to rosapps. Tests were already moved by Fireball to rostests.

[Aleksey Bragin]

It's all about re-thinking what rosapps is. Initially it was supposed  
to be a place for various "app"lications. Right now it turned out to  
become a kind of a trashcan, where stuff unapplicable for trunk goes.
Since this is wrong, it's perfectly fine to "force" devs to build  
with rosapps (and rostests, if they are interested in thorough  
testing) module.

Otherwise, with make/make all, we again end up with rudimentary rosapps.


Also there will be some kind of "unmaintained" module (undecided yet  
- discussions are welcome) where some stuff from rosapps is going to  
be moved (which is not currently maintained, and not interesting for  
devs).


WBR,
Aleksey.
