The ros_comm stack contains the ROS middleware/communications packages. This
packages are collectively known as the ROS "Graph" layer. They provide
implementations and tools for topics, nodes, services, and parameters. This
includes the supported ROS client libraries: roscpp, rospy, and roslisp.

Some ros python packages require py-setuptools instead of using vanilla
distutils. This has the side effect of installing so called EGG_INFO
directories that behave differently depending on the platform (sometimes the
directory is zipped, sometimes not). The PLIST may then be broken.

Instead of fighting with this, just use distutils instead of setuptools since
setuptools does not bring anything useful in robotpkg (does it?). This is done
via a SUBST stage in setup.py for packages that declare using it.

Affected packages are, so far:
 - ros-gencpp
 - ros-genlisp
 - ros-genpy

Factor out the following:
 - PKGNAME with ros- prefix. This is overrided for a few base pkgs only
 - MAINTAINER
 - LICENSE

These can still be overriden on a per pkg basis.

std_msgs contains common message types representing primitive data types and
other basic message constructs, such as multiarrays. For common, generic
robot-specific message types, please see common_msgs.

std_msgs contains wrappers for ROS primitive types, which are documented in the
msg specification. It also contains the Empty type, which is useful for sending
an empty signal.

This package also contains the "MultiArray" types, which can be useful for
storing sensor data.

Lisp code generator for ros .msg and .srv files

python code generator for ROS .srv and .msg files

C++ code generator for ROS .msg and .srv files

Project genmsg exists in order to decouple code generation from ROS .msg & .srv
format files from the parsing of these files and from impementation details of
the build system (project directory layout, existence or nonexistence of
utilities like rospack, values of environment variables such as
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH): i.e. none of these are required to be set in any particular
way.

This module provides a simple interface to record some trajectory and
then replay it.

The CmakeFile of catkin is able to find either the standalone script, or the
python package. It looks like catkin is happy with both.

- Adapt to newest ros18-base/Makefile.common
- Add a depend.mk
- Fix PLIST

py-rospkg is not available from the same repositories as the rest of ros-base,
so use a standard Makefile for fetching it from github.org/ros

While here, update to 1.0.7 (changes unknown).

http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu/pool/main/r/ seems to contain at least the
latest release tarball of ros-base. Go for it, until there is yet another new
location.

It makes the link between hyper, the supervision framework, and genom
modules that it must control.

Hyper is an implementation of the ROAR supervision framework.

API change since RC2 can cause a "issues"...

Final version, warning API change since RC2

	- new gyroTypes.{h,idl} headers and common init function.
	- renamed pkg-config file

This unifies gyroKVH1000 and gyroKVH5000 packages.

Instead of the mostly hidden location on pr.willowgarage.com, consistently use
github.com/ros for fetching the distfile

patch-aa has been committed upstream, so it must be removed from here. Hi
Mamoun!

Changes since 1.6.11:

    Version 1.7.1 (23 December 2011)
        fixes in CUDA kd-tree index
        renamed some constants to avoid conflicts with other libraries

    Version 1.7.0 (20 December 2011)
        new index type (HierarchicalClusteringIndex) for matching features
        using any metric distance (works well for binary features and Hamming
        distances)
        LSH implementation for matching binary features contributed by Vincent
        Rabaud
        GPU kd-tree matching for 3D features on CUDA compatible hardware
        contributed by Andreas Muyzel
        support for multithreaded search using the TBB library contributed by
        Nick Vanbaelen
        better performance when searching for many neighbors
        improvements to the MPI search support
        support for radius search using multiple query points at once
        small breaking API change if upgrading from a previous version, check
        the manual on how to update your code.
        bug fixes

Nothing really working here, just committing WIP.
