You can take a look at my bloom fork [here](https://github.com/bchretien/bloom/tree/topic/pkgbuild-support). I tested it on `catkin`, and you can see the resulting `PKGBUILD` [there](https://gist.github.com/bchretien/37ae45fba68886c3e5ae). There's still work to do, but it's...

I tested on `catkin` since it does not depend on any ROS package. If it depends on ROS packages, there's a rosdep check that currently fails. Maybe we need to...

The problem with the in-source approach (PKGBUILD that is supposed to be inside the source directory) is that this is just not AUR-friendly, so the PKGBUILDs generated by my bloom...

@v01d: To test my bloom fork locally with ROS dependencies, I used [rosdep-generator](https://github.com/mikepurvis/rosdep-generator), modified the generated yaml to add `arch`, and ran `rosdep update`. I guess there's a smarter/easier way...

> By the way, can you think of a simple command to list all non-official (aur) non-ros packages which would need to be provided? I made [this simple script](https://gist.github.com/bchretien/c77d5774a5c781fc7dd95f0333dfd584) (it...

@v01d it should be `topic/pkgbuild-support`.

@v01d I've added you as a co-maintainer for the ROS dependencies I currently maintain. That should help setting everything up.

What are the differences on those rosarch branches? Simply version updates?

Ok, that sounds reasonable to me! Feel free to apply your changes on the AUR.
