Bug#804040: ITP: ros-vcstools -- VCS/SCM Pythin source control library for svn, git, hg, and bzr

[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-vcstools
  Version         : 0.1.38
  URL             : http://www.ros.org/wiki/vcstools
  License         : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : VCS/SCM Python source control library for svn, git, hg, and bzr

 This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). The vcstools module provides
 a Python API for interacting with different version control systems
 (VCS/SCMs). The VcsClient class provides an API for seamlessly
 interacting with Git, Mercurial (Hg), Bzr and SVN. The focus of the
 API is manipulating on-disk checkouts of source-controlled trees.
