[Rock-dev] YAML orogen config files

[Raul Dominguez]

Hello Rockers,


About the syntax:

The Yaml files that are used for configuring the tasks have a syntax 
which is not proper Yaml.

To separate the sections "--- section_name" is used. Officially '---' is 
the document header symbol.

This becomes a problem when you try to use any available yaml parser 
either Ruby or C++.

Could we change this? Why aren't the sections just the first level in 
the hierarchy of the config files?


About the content:

Currently the task to which the config belongs is not specified in the 
config file contents itself, any tool has to guess it by the name of the 
file. This is not a good practice, because we enforce the naming the 
files to get the tool working, right? Could we have a field "Task" which 
informs about to which task the config is associated.


Thanks for your feedback!



Kind regards,

Raúl
