Hi Tully,

Are there any plans to integrate the changes to PCL upstream instead of
maintaining a wg fork? From my analysis, the only changes are that the
wg fork includes the generated message headers, .msg files, and some ROS
stack metadata. I opened a bug upstream[1] and was going to take a
crack this weekend at having PCL's buildsystem handle generating the
message headers and installing the stack files when USE_ROS is enabled,
but if someone else is working on it I'd rather not duplicate the effort.

Thanks,

Rich
