[Tully Foote]

Hi Jack,

I think you're up and running now.  However I'm going to reply to the list
for others sake.

The new rosdistro files on github are only for wet (catkin based) packages.
 All dry stacks are still listed in the rosdistro files on code.ros.org

 There's a tutorial for how to migrate a package from rosbuild to catkin
at: http://www.ros.org/wiki/catkin/migrating_from_rosbuild

There's not currently a global migration guide for changes between fuerte
and groovy.  I'll look into creating one.
