Definitely we should ask them to update the PPA and notify us to pull in the new version when it's available. This likely affects all platforms no? Including Homebrew/OS X and Fedora?

Hi

How can we update collada-dom on package.ros.org to latest one (https://github.com/rdiankov/collada-dom/commits/master)

could someone create deb for package.ros.org ?
or should we ask collada-dom maintainer and upload newer deb to PPA? and someone copy that to package.ros.org?

Since collada-dom causes some trouble on robot_model package on trusty as https://github.com/ros/robot_model/issues/89,  I wrote some fixes to link pcrecpp to robot_model libraries, but that also have side effects to https://github.com/ros/robot_model/issues/110 and http://answers.ros.org/question/209686/turtlebot-apt-get-update-has-generated-an-error-on-minimallaunch/

At least on trusty / x86 , I create deb from following script and works fine.
```
#!/bin/bash
set -x 
set -e

cd /tmp
rm -fr  collada-dom2.4-dp-2.4.3.0.orig
tar -xvzf collada-dom2.4-dp_2.4.3.0.orig.tar.gz
cd collada-dom2.4-dp-2.4.3.0.orig
tar -xvzf ../collada-dom2.4-dp_2.4.3.0-ubuntu1~trusty1.debian.tar.gz
sed -i 's@2.4.3.0-ubuntu1~trusty1@2.4.3.99-ubuntu1~trusty1@' debian/changelog
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
```

Thanks in advance.
