** [tickets:#2084] build: Refactor the directory structure and build system**
**Status:** assigned

Improve the OpenSAF directory structure and build system. The exact details of
what and how to improve them is yet to be worked out, but below are some ideas:
* In order to support better modularity of the different OpenSAF services, we
should collect all files belonging to a particular OpenSAF service under a
separate subdirectory per service. Today, files belonging to one single service
(source code, library code, header files, tests, command-line tools) are
scattered in many places.
* Rename directories where appropriate. For example remove the "sv" suffix,
e.g. clmsv -> clm.
* Look at "standards" to see what kind of directory structure is commonly used
by other projects. For example, maybe put the source code in a directory called
"src".
* Reduce the depth of the directory hierarchy. Some levels of the directory
structure can be removed, for example the separate "include" directory that
some services (but not all) currently use for their header files. Header files
ought to into the same directory as source files. Another example is that we
don't really need to divide services into "saf" and "infrastructure" and thus
remove this level in the tree.
* Improve parallelism of the build. I have a feeling that much more could be
built in parallel than is possible today when you type "make -j".
* Possibly look at alternatives to autotools, to see if we can also support
something else (e.g. cmake) in addition to autotools.
