Hi Ivan,

In general we maintain separate branches for development for each distro.  Thus you would fork for development of new features, and backport patches/bug fixes.  It's a little bit of overhead. 

For backwards compatability we have kept an artificial dependency from common on nodelet_core which will allow you to just depend on common for Electric.  However that will be removed in Fuerte.  Thus for electric you can keep the dependency on common.  However soon we will move forward with removing the backwards compatibility in unstable at which time you will need to fork development.

Hi everyone,

We are releasing some stacks as debians which have dependencies on the
nodelet package. It was moved from the common stack (diamondback) to the
nodelet_core stack (electric and unstable). Is there an elegant way to
deal with this in the stack.xml (conditional depndency perhaps)? If not,
what's the cleanest way to release the stack?

Thanks,

Ivan
