[ros-users] Automated checkout of missing dependencies + ros…

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script/program to automate the download of
missing dependencies. This instead of having to download the missing
dependencies manually, or specify them in a .rosinstall file.
Any suggestions on what's the best way to do this?
I started writing a shell script for it, using `rospack depend
<PackageName>` to get the missing dependencies, but perhaps a c++ file
would be better?

Furthermore, is it possible to add git support to the roslocate
command? Is this already planned, and, if not, how hard would it be to
add it myself?

regards,

Steven
