Re: [SR-Dev] sip-router: modules & repositories

[...] I've added support for multiple modules dirs (the list of modules dirs is defined in Makefile.dirs). It's on andrei/modules_dirs branch (see http://lists.sip-router.org/pipermail/sr-dev/2009-March/001179.html for more details). There are some changes when running make install: - each set of modules is installed in its own dir (e.g.: /usr/local/lib/sip-router/modules, /usr/local/lib/sip-router/modules-k ...) - the modules docs are now installed in separate dirs (instead of /usr/local/share/doc/sr/ in /usr/local/share/doc/sr/{modules,modules_s,modules_k} ) One potential problem is that all the man pages are installed in the same dir, so modules with the same name might overwrite their man page. However only a small number of ser modules have man page support so far, so at least for now this is not a problem. The modules using includes from tm would need to be updated (../tm/ should be replaced with ../../modules/tm/). If we agree that this is the best way to organize the repos, we should decide on the names for the 3 modules directories and I'll merge my branch into master. Regarding the names, they should not contain a '-' (to avoid potential future problems with shells that don't allow '-' in env. vars), and they should be different from any make variable name (so if you come up with a name grep it first in Makefile* to see if it's already used). We might consider renaming modules/ to something different (e.g. common_mods) to avoid some confusion with old make commands (right now make modules will make only the modules in the modules/ dir, using a different dir name. would permit changing make modules to make all the modules from all the dirs). BTW: we are not limited to 3 modules dirs, we could use as many as we want, we could even divide them alphabetically :-)
