Migrate to robotology

[traversaro]

Ad discussed with @GiulioRomualdi and @S-Dafarra, it would be useful to move this repo to robotology .
For this, we should rename the repo to have a name compliant to robotology organization style.
@GiulioRomualdi let me know when you are ready to move (note that GitHub handles renaming quite well, so this should not be problematic in any way).

Ok, as regarding the name of the repo what do you prefer?

1. osqp-c++;
2. osqp-eigen;
3. osqp-c++-eigen;
4. ...

[traversaro]

I think osqp-eigen is the most descriptive one, if you want to have c++ in the name I would go for cxx or cpp to avoid strange corner-case problems with having + in the package/repo name.

[traversaro]

The osqp-something naming scheme is also compatible with the names of the repositories of osqp bindings for Python, Fortran and MATLAB: https://github.com/oxfordcontrol .

If you want visibility for the library, once you are a bit confident that the API interface is stable (ish), you could propose to OSQP's authors to include the link to this Eigen interface to OSQP in the OSQP Interfaces page: http://osqp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interfaces/ (there are already some 3rd-party interfaces such as cutest).

Ok the name of the repository will be changed into osqp-eigen. The master branch is fully tested while, in the next few days, I will write some tests for the devel_update_matrices branch.

Maybe when migrating we could change Optimizator* to Optimizer* 😉 .

Done! 😄

Porting can be performed when this issue will be closed.

@traversaro You are everywhere I look ! 😃

Question : Isn't the default licensing for robotology LGPLv2-3 ? I'd like to use this but not put my code GPL

[traversaro]

Hi @ahoarau !
Yep the software is licensed under LGPL2/3, the content of the LICENSE file will be changed soon, thanks for pointing that out.

[S-Dafarra]

Just a couple of suggestions before migrating to robotology.
Maybe it is better to rename the files from Optimizer* to OsqpEigen*, to make clearer the inclusion of these files in external projects. In addition the name OptimizerSolver seems a repetition.
Another option could be to remove Optimizer* from the file name and place them all in a folder called OsqpEigen, so that the inclusion would seem like:

#include <OsqpEigen/Solver.hpp>

instead of

#include <OptimizerSolver.hpp>

I would suggest also to change the name of the namespace from OsqpWrapper to OsqpEigen to preserve consistency with the project name.

I can deal with these modification if you like, maybe adding them to https://github.com/GiulioRomualdi/osqp-eigen/pull/5.

Clearly this would break the code which has been written according to the current version, but it may be reasonable to change it when migrating organization.

[GiulioRomualdi]

Since #5 and #7 were merged and the license was updated (now LGPL 3) we can move this repository to robotology.

I think we can close this issue.

[traversaro]

Yeah!
