Description

See https://github.com/orgs/autowarefoundation/discussions/4097

Purpose

Keep Autoware code clearly separate from other projects by adding appropriate namespacing and prefixes

Possible approaches

Add autoware namespace and autoware_ prefix for package names

Definition of done

All packages are prefixed and the code is in the autoware namespace

Following up from:

• https://github.com/orgs/autowarefoundation/discussions/4097#discussioncomment-8384169
  • autoware_package_name/include/autoware/package_name
• build(static_centerline_generator): prefix package and namespace with autoware_ autoware.universe#6817 (comment)

We should prefix the package folder names with autoware_ too.

The package name in the package.xml file should match its parent folder.

I might have missed something too, open to discussion.

[esteve]

@xmfcx I've been waiting for feedback from the TierIV engineers regarding renaming the folders. @mitsudome-r do you have any updates? Thanks.

[xmfcx]

I would like to change it and see the response in this case. And solve the issues after they arise.

main branch is a development branch and this is expected.

[mitsudome-r]

I think we can move on with changing the package folder name as well.
However, we did have some concerns about the changing the package names & include folder structure for the packages in autoware_common repository and also the packages with tier4_ prefix.
