Re: [ros-users] first FreeBSD package available

Hi Rene,
This is great. Have you seen this page summarizing our new release
infrastructure. http://www.ros.org/wiki/release/Architecture

I think that building the FreeBSD ports might be able to leverage some of
the results of stage 1 in particular the tarball result. Our pipeline is
not well documented but it's available at
http://www.ros.org/wiki/ros_release if you want to take a look. If the stage
1 results could generate the freebsd metadata file it would likely ease your
work.

PS Be aware that there may still be a few stacks which break if you strip
the build directory. We're planning to switch it off in unstable shortly,
and will probably be ahead of you. But I did want to make you aware that
there are still a few packages which are incompatible.
