[ros-users] Indigo buildfarm ready for releases

[Lucas Chiesa]

Hi,

I've been testing this tutorial and everything worked ok.

I was able to run rviz from inside the chroot both building from
source and using the deb.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.4 (installed quite recently) and have an Intel
video card. I did not need to install any enablement stack.

Regards,
Lucas Chiesa
