Bug#804034: ITP: ros-rosinstall-generator -- Tool to generatore rosinstall 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 generate rosinstall files (for Robot OS)

 This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It contains a tool to
 generate rosinstall files which contain information about repositories
 with ROS packages/stacks. It always returns information about
 released packages - either to the gbp repositories for wet packages
 or to the tarball of dry stacks from the SVN release repository.
