Cleanly separate IDL annotations from OVSDB schema information. Until now, the OVSDB IDL annotations have been glommed together with the schema information in a single file, and then we've used ovsdb-idlc to extract the schema from that file. This commit reverses the process: the schema and the annotations are stored separately and then glommed together as necessary at build time. This new arrangement has a few advantages: - We can now easily have multiple different sets of IDL annotations for a single OVSDB schema. For example, some users may not need access to columns that other users do. - Bugs in ovsdb-idlc cannot screw up the underlying schema (as shown by a recent commit). 2010-01-07 15:52:58 -08:00			`# -- python --`

idl: Move vswitch-idl to libopenvswitch. This is cleaner then having multiple programs build the idl independently. Signed-off-by: Ethan Jackson <ethan@nicira.com> 2012-03-15 17:10:41 -07:00			`s["idlHeader"] = "\"lib/vswitch-idl.h\""`
