Bug#804032: ITP: ros-rosdistro -- Tool to work with rosdistro files

[Wookey <wookey@wookware.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

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/

  Description     : Tool to work with rosdistro files (for Robot OS)

 This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). The rosdistro tool allows you
 to get access to the full dependency tree and the vcs information of
 all packages and repositories.
 .
 rosdistro is a file format for managing ROS Distributions and the ROS
 stacks they contain. This file format is used as input to a variety
 of tools in the ROS build and release toolchain, from stack release
 tools to rosdoc. The rosdistro format has changed for Catkin-based
 repositories.
