Project layout #28

Open lu-zero opened 4 months ago

lu-zero commented 4 months ago

Since it is a workspace with 3 components:

crate library
ffi for the crate library
cli utilities

It is common to either have

The crate library as root crate, ffi and cli in crates/ as v4l2r-ffi and v4l2r-cli
Everything in crates/ as v4l2r, v4l2r-ffi, v4l2r-cli.

Are you fine with either refactor?

Having the library as the root crate sounds definitely like a better design, in fact IIRC I wanted to go with something like that but couldn't do it for some reason.

Is having secondary crates in crates/ a convention? I'm also not sure if we can talk about cli utilities, there are examples that are maybe a bit more involved than what one would expect, but I'd not go as far as suggesting they can actually be useful to something other than testing. :)

In any case let's make sure to clearly define the layout before doing any groundwork.

crates/ is commonly used to keep everything tidy, but not always used. Naming-wise it is common to have those names though.
