Bug#804000: ITP: ros-catkin -- Low-level build system macros and infrastructure for Robot OS

[Wookey <wookey@wookware.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

We (Robotics section of Debian Science team) are packaging 
ROS (Robot OS: http://www.ros.org/) for Debian. ROS uses   
many packages already in Debian, but also has a set of   
core/toolchain/build-system packages which are not yet 
uploaded. This package is part of that ROS system.

Most of the packaging work is already done, and available at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/ros/
 
  Package name    : ros-catkin
  Version         : 0.6.15
  URL             : http://www.ros.org/wiki/catkin

  Description     : Low-level build system macros and infrastructure for Robot OS
	
 Catkin contains CMake macros that are useful in the development of
 ROS-related systems. In ROS (Robot OS) Fuerte and later, many of the lower-level
 libraries are being migrated to be CMake only.
