Bug#804033: ITP: ros-rosinstall -- Installer for ROS

[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/

  Package name    : ros-rosinstall
  Version         : 0.7.7
  URL             : http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosinstall

  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Installer for Robot OS

 This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). The rosinstall package
 provides a Python API for interacting with a source code workspace as
 well as a group of command line tools. Rosinstall leverages the
 vcstools package for source control and stores its state in
 .rosinstall files.
 .
 Using rosinstall you can update several folders using a variety of SCMs
 (SVN, Mercurial, git, Bazaar) with just one command.
