This work package claims all remaining proposed clean-ups for the RTT source code. RTT 2.0 is an ideal mark point for doing such changes. Most of these reorganizations have broad support from the community.

1 Partition in name spaces and hide internal classes in subdirectories. A namespace and directory partitioning will once and for all separate public RTT API from internal headers. This will provide a drastically reduced class count for users, while allowing developers to narrow backwards compatibility to only these classes. This offers also the opportunity to remove classes that are for internal use only but are in fact never used.

2 Improve CMake build system Numerous suggestions have been done on the mailing list for improving portability and building Orocos on non standard platforms.

3 Group user contributed code in rtt-extras and ocl-extras packages. These packages offer variants of implementations found in the RTT and OCL, such as new data type support, specialized activity classes etc. In order not to clutter up the standard RTT and OCL APIs, these contributions are organized in separate packages. Other users are warned that these extras might not be of the same quality as native RTT and OCL classes.
