[ros-users] Diamondback Desktop-full variant and rxtools/documentation

[Ken Conley]

FYI: the new rosinstall comes with 'roslocate' bundled in.  It's still
a work in progress for your use-case, i.e. you can run:

$ roslocate info joystick_drivers
- svn:
        local-name: joystick_drivers
        uri: https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/joystick_drivers/trunk

which gives you the rosinstall fragment.  However, until we update our
indexers, it gives you the 'trunk' URL, which you probably don't want,
so you'll want to follow Tully's suggestion to get the correct URL.
In the future, you will be able to pass in a distro argument to get a
more appropriate URL.
