Hi All, One of the most strongly supported features discussed in the ROS Buildsystem SIG was to release ROS packages as debian packages. Required to do this is to have packaging and build dependencies in each package. Based on our discussions on the SIG Dirk has put together REP 127 with a proposal to replace stack.xml and manifest.xml with package.xml http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0127.html Please take a look and provide feedback. Please reply to ros-sig-buildsystem@googlegroups.com for the discussion. If you're interested and not subscribed you can subscribe or view the mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ros-sig-buildsystem Tully PS: We will also be releasing REPs to update 122-125 shortly as well. -- Tully Foote tfoote@willowgarage.com (650) 475-2827
