[ros-users] ROS Diamondback Beta 2

[Moritz Tenorth]

Hi,

that issue with knowrob is known and will be solved in the next days... 
We will remove those files and folders and move two large 3rdparty 
packages (opencyc and mary_tts) out of the stack.

Sorry for that -- when installing from source, the size is usually no 
problem since those packages are normally not downloaded if they are not 
used.
