Great news! I saw the PCL emails, thank you so much for doing that. Will we still need to build two versions of PCL once this happens (admittedly, we could do this from within the same source package, I suppose), or will the Fedora system PCL be built against ROS? > ROS groovy is due out around October[3], which is after the f18 feature > freeze, but I think we should make ROS an f18 feature and shoot for > getting fuerte included for the f18 release.

I've gotten some more stacks working since last I checked in. So far, the biggest block has been the fact that rviz uses a Ogre module that Fedora doesn't have (because that module depends on NVIDIA's non-free cg toolkit). I patched out the place where rviz uses the module, and things _seem_ to work fine without it, but I'm not really sure how rviz works so I can't be sure. Aside from that, I finished all the deps needed for the nxt stack, then patched up the nxt stack to actually work against fuerte. Right now, I'm out at Southeast Linux Fest on an internet connection that is not much more than wet string and tin cans, but next week, I'll upload my current ROS packages.
