Hi,

with Fuerte approaching, there are several migrations to perform.
As one such migration the rosinstall specification needs to change a bit
to adapt to fuerte.

Find attached a REP drafted by Tully Foote and me to make rosinstall work
with Fuerte (and previous distros as well, of course).

The reference implementation for it is the latest rosinstall rosinstall
0.5.30 released on pypi, which should now work with the pre-release
version or Fuerte.

Hopefully the change in the REP should remain invisible to users, and thus
affect nobody in their work, but it would still be nice for a few people
to review the draft.

cheers,
  Thibault
