Bug#804827: ITP: ros-bond-core -- Messages related to Robot OS bond_core - development

[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     : Robot OS bond implementation
	
 This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). This is the 'bond' process state
 machine library development files.
 .
 Bond is a mechanism for checking when another process has
 terminated. A bond allows two processes, A and B, to know when the
 other has terminated, either cleanly or by crashing. The bond remains
 connected until it is either broken explicitly or until a heartbeat
 times out.
