> 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.
