Hi, I'm currently packaging a robotics simulator called Morse ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770740 ). Morse allows its simulations to be interacted with via multiple middleware protocols, including sockets, YARP, pocolibs, ROS, and a few others. Upstream has recommended that I extract support for these protocols into separate subpackages, which seems very reasonable. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that we have packages for some of these middlewares. So, what is the best course of action? I wouldn't really object to writing up a few more packages for these most of these optional dependencies. However, packaging ROS might be... problematic ( http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/robotics/2011/000529.html ), and although an employee of their backer has indicated that he has some interest, I wouldn't be surprised if it took a while. I suppose one option would be to strip out the unsupported middleware, until some point in the future when there is support, then incrementally adding subpackages for each protocol. Any advice would be much appreciated. Spencer
