Thanks Brian,
I need amcl for localization, so In the meantime I'll hack together a
node that manually does the inversion on /scan and re-publishes on
/scan_inverted. That way I don't have to deal with inversion flags
everywhere...
As long as I re-post my LaserScan messages with the original timestamp
it should work, correct?
PS those tickets are slated for navigation/slam_gmapping-1.1 which I
believe is already out, so does that mean they're targeted for 1.2--or
are they being pushed back to a later (unstable) release?
