Remove Orocos Device Interface classes? #285

Open meyerj opened 5 years ago

meyerj commented 5 years ago

The Orocos Device Interface classes in rtt/extras/dev have not been updated for a long time, with the exception of minor bug fixes or patches required for the transition from RTT v1 to v2 in 2010. There is some old documentation in doc/xml/orocos-device-interface.xml.

I wonder whether somebody is actually using it or whether they can be completely removed?

Some of the source files in this directory, e.g. rtt/extras/dev/AxisInterface.hpp have an incompatible LGPL license header. It might be by mistake, but we do not know anymore.

264 already disabled compilation of the Orocos Device Interface classes by default.

It never happened to use them.... probably it is not the most convenient way to abstract hardware interfaces.

I don't recall ever seeing a patch on them, or any questions over the years. No problem here with removing them.
