Hi Tully (and list), a bit late reply from me. I think the patches for rosdep were mostly complete (I now have to adapt them to ROS 1.1.0). Yesterday evening I could bootstrap ROS up to somewhere in rosconsole, where the compiler (gcc 4.2.1) would error out. If nobody objects I'll send in some FreeBSD-support tickets with trac. By 'next release' you mean 1.2.0 ? Is there a rough timeline for that? Can I just do a 'make clean' in my ROS checkout or would a clean checkout with re-applied patches be better?
