Hi Rene,
This is great.  Have you seen this page summarizing our new release infrastructure.  http://www.ros.org/wiki/release/Architecture

I think that building the FreeBSD ports might be able to leverage some of the results of stage 1 in particular the tarball result.  Our pipeline is not well documented but it's available at http://www.ros.org/wiki/ros_release if you want to take a look. If the stage 1 results could generate the freebsd metadata file it would likely ease your work.

PS Be aware that there may still be a few stacks which break if you strip the build directory.  We're planning to switch it off in unstable shortly, and will probably be ahead of you. But I did want to make you aware that there are still a few packages which are incompatible.

Hi,

The first FreeBSD package for ROS is now available, providing the
equivalent of ros-cturtle-ros on Ubuntu (but without the build
directories). The cleaned up instructions are available at the wiki:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/FreeBSD

Thanks go to the ROS developers for applying all the patches I sent to them.

I will probably add more ROS packages in the future, starting with the
tutorials and the Lego NXT stacks (the latter because that's the only
robot I have myself, apart from some webcams).

Regards,
Rene
