These are distro versions built from source. I'm trying to be a bit
sneaky/clever here. Let's take ros-fuerte-image-common as an example.
The spec file is named "ros-image-common.spec", and this is what the
beginning looks like:
%global codename fuerte
%global shortname image_common
Name: ros-%{codename}-image-common
Version: 1.8.0
Release: 1%{?dist}
Summary: Common ROS code for working with images
Thus, the Fedora git component name is "ros-image-common", and as
upstream bumps to "ginormous", we just change the value for codename and
rebuild. rpmlint notes that the .spec file name doesn't match the SRPM,
but this method is a lot simpler in the long run and it better matches
the experience that the upstream is providing on Ubuntu.

We should check that, but I don't think so.

Okay. I'll upload them and post again when they're up.

I think we're going to need to do more than that. Is Tim (the PCL
maintainer) on this list? I still haven't found a working combination yet.
