I am trying to get ROS going under OS X with homebrew, and I have run into an issue.  Several packages depend on python-numpy, which I would like to install through pip (homebrew doesn&#39;t provide a formula for this reason), but before I do that I need homebrew to install gfortran.  So, do I add a new rosdep to each package that also depends on numpy, or should there a mechanism for inter package management dependencies.  I know you can have several packages per installer rosdep (e.g. python: macports: python26 python_select), but that is only enough if both dependencies are in the same package management system.<div>

<br></div><div>For now I have just added another rosdep (gfortran) that uses homebrew to install and made that a dependency of roslib, but this is just a work around.</div><div><br></div><div>Something to think about,</div>
