+1. I like using the camera_drivers stack as a sort of "meta-package" to
pull in all of the officially support camera drivers. But at that point,
maybe it would be best to just supply a .rosinstall file and build a .deb
file that depends on all of the officially support drivers instead of
maintaining an actual stack in SVN.

Here's my list (I envision the current stack would continue on in some sort
of "meta-package" manner as discussed above):
Laser Drivers:

Hokuyo_node goes to a unary stack
Sick_driver stack that contains the sicktoolbox and sicktoolbox_wrapper
packages.

IMU Drivers:

We've only got the Microstrain driver, but I think keeping around an
imu_drivers meta-package would be consistent with the laser and camera
drivers.


Is there any intention of splitting the joystick_drivers into unary stacks?

I am not completely clear as to how this should be structured in the
ros-pkg SVN tree.

Are there other drivers we should repackage in this way? Let&#39;s try to
compile a (fairly) complete list.Here&#39;s my list (I envision the current stack would continue on in some sort of &quot;meta-package&quot; manner as discussed above):Laser Drivers:
