Just as an FYI, I'm in the process of attempting to package up the ROS<br>
Fuerte stack in a way that I hope could be acceptable for inclusion in<br>
Fedora, and making some reasonable progress.<br>
<br>
I'll probably end up needing a lot of reviews if/when I am successful.<br>
At the moment, I'm running into an issue where the ROS component<br>
"perception_pcl" depends on a forked version of PCL that ROS only makes<br>
available in a binary Ubuntu dpkg. I have opened a bug with ROS asking<br>
for the corresponding source code, but so far, they haven't responded.<br>
(If anyone knows where I can find that magic ROS PCL source code fork,<br>
please let me know.)<br>

I think they're about ready to post for review, which I can do tonight if you don't see any issues. If you would like to coordinate efforts, we also have a wiki page[2] started to track progress, we can convert it into a table with package names, versions, packaging status, and review status, then we can branch out and get all the specfiles written.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It looks like the version of PCL that fuerte is including is marked as 1.5.2[2]. Given the date in the package name, it looks like they probably took an svn snapshot[3] on that date and bumped the version from the latest release(1.5.1). I agree it would be nice if they posted source packages with the binary packages in their ubuntu repositories.</div>
