[ros-users] best practice for own but ROS-independant libraries

Hello,
It happens often that one has a ROS-independent library and a campanion
ROS wrapper. Ideally, one would like a seamless integration of this
library with ROS while still allowing people without ROS to compile the
library. In your opinion, what is the best practice? Is it to have a
library in its own repository and the ROS wrapper to fetch it locally,
or should the library be in the ROS stack with a parallel build system
for ROSless usage? The former is a bit complex but the later requires
two build paths for the library, and obfuscates the build for people not
using ROS.
Thank you, kind regards,
Stéphane
