[ros-users] ROS package git repository conventions?

[Lorenzo Riano]

I think the question is more like "Should Berkely (or any other institution)
have one repository for all the stacks it produces, even if there are
inter-stack (or package) dependencies, or should it have one repository per
stack?"

My suggestion (similar to the the answers.ros one) is to have one repository
per stack, with possible sub-modules (if you're using git). In this case the
ROS indexer should be able to crawl all the repositories that belong to an
user, recognize which of them is a ROS stack, then update the software index
accordingly.
