[ros-users] resolving open REP-0122 issues

[Lorenz Mösenlechner]

Hi,

I remember a discussion on that before Fuerte was released. Wasn't it
even decided that roscreate-stack should re-appear?

I think creating a new REP should be best. I'd like to see everything
moved into <prefix>/lib and maybe put into a sub-directory ros. I.e.:
/opt/ros/<distro>/lib/ros/<stack>/<package>.
