[Rock-dev] place for general_processing packages

[Felix Rehrmann]

Hi all,

currently I'm writing a component that provides the ability to add ports 
dynamically.
The data from these port will automatically be converted into doubles 
and collected into one or more vectors, which are buffered and made 
available inside the component. The purpose of that is to integrate 
generic algorithms (e.g. learning algorithm) that only take vector as 
input. So the same algorithm can be used for
a different set of input data.

There are two packages general_processing and orogen/general_processing, 
which are currently developed locally. I want to put them into the 
public rock part. First best choice would be to put them into tools. But 
as there is already the orogen-package the standard 
library/component-naming would not work.

So any suggestions, where to put the packages? How to solve this?

Thanks and all the best!
Felix
