There have been several questions on answers.ros.org which suggest that the Fuerte Ubuntu install instructions[1] need to mention the new versions of rosinstall, rosdep, rosemacs, etc. The source install instructions[2] do mention rosdep in passing, but I see nothing clearly stating exactly what pip installs are required for people to develop code based on Fuerte binaries. I am sending this note rather than fixing it myself, because I doubt I completely understand the requirements.
