[ros-users] adding stack support to roslocate command

[Ken Conley]

Hi Steven,

The code that generates the megamanifest.xml is here:

https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/rosorg/trunk/rosbrowse

I imagine that a parallel version with stacks needs to be created,
which should mostly be string substitution (use the roslib.stacks api
instead).  It might be possible to generate just one file for both,
but we'd have to test backwards-compatibility with other scripts that
read the same file.

Then it should just be a matter of modifying 'roslocate' to read the new data.

There is additional work to add it to our automated builds so that the
file gets updated on our server. I'm happy to help integrate this if
you submit a patch.
