| 3 | 1 | J. Wienke | Several applications using project:rsb as their middleware will require converters from RST-types to specific domain objects, e.g. rst.ImageMessage to OpenCV images. The folder source:/trunk/converter-repository will serve as a first working solution to collect these converters. This is probably not the final solution but several issues have to be addressed by any potential solution: |
| 4 | 1 | J. Wienke | * Converters depend on different libraries, e.g. the OpenCV converter will add a dependency to OpenCV. The repository itself, if compiled into a single library, would depend on many different libraries making it unusable. |
| 5 | 1 | J. Wienke | * Converters exist for different programming languages |
| 6 | 1 | J. Wienke | |
| 7 | 1 | J. Wienke | The current solutions is as follows: |
| 8 | 1 | J. Wienke | * The root of the repository is organized by language folders. |
| 9 | 1 | J. Wienke | * Every converter is checked in into a dedicated folder only for this converter in its language directory. |
| 10 | 1 | J. Wienke | * Every converter is placed into a namespace/package/module to reflect the structure @rst/converter/ConverterName@. |
| 11 | 1 | J. Wienke | * The converter repository does not contain any build logic. It is the user's task to build the converter and integrate it into his or her project. |
| 12 | 1 | J. Wienke | * Users should integrate the converters into their project by either using "svn externals":http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html or other solutions that pull in the latest code or a specific version/branch automatically. Copying the source is only the last solution |
