Hi all,
Today's release of ROS Fuerte includes progress towards the ROS
Enhancement Proposal (REP) 122 - Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
layout changes for ROS[1]. With these changes to the ROS layout, I
think we will finally be able to make progress towards packaging ROS
for inclusion in Fedora. I've set up a wiki page to track our
progress[2], please read it over and let me know if I'm out of my
mind or missing anything important.
To get the ball rolling, I've also created preliminary packages for
some of the python tools that the ROS install guide wants Fedora
users to easy_install (vcstools, rosinstall, and rospkg.) I'm going
to work on cleaning them up and testing them over the next couple of
days; I'll push them to my fedorapeople webspace once I have
something worth sharing.
