>  Currently we release PCL as a ROS package (ros-hydro-pcl), but with no
>  substantial patches. We would like to instead pull in official pcl-1.7
>  debians and have everyone install pcl from source or from debs
>  themselves. This has two benefits, first that we do not have to waste
>  effort releasing PCL through our infrastructure, and second is that
>  when building ROS from source you will not need to build PCL in your
>  catkin workspace.

>  
>  To facilitate this I have created two new rosdep rules:
>  
>  
>  libpcl-all
>  libpcl-all-dev
>  
>  
>  These rules should replace the use of the 'pcl' rosdep rule in your
>  package.xml's. The common case should look like this:
>  
>  
>  --- a/package.xml
>  +++ b/package.xml
>  
>  
>  -  <build_depend>pcl</build_depend>
>  +  <build_depend>libpcl-all-dev</build_depend>
>  
>  
>  
>  
>  -  <run_depend>pcl</run_depend>
>  +  <run_depend>libpcl-all</run_depend>
>  
>  
>  If you directly depend on pcl, then you should update your package and
>  release it into hydro.
