I just tried to get kinetic packages and compile locally. Some minor changes are needed (add kinetic python versions). Moreover, it seems that PKGBUILDs should also add CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to build...

Actual CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH does not seem to be necessary. I think ros-kinetic-catkin needs to have -DCATKIN_BUILD_BINARY_PACKAGE=OFF since the PKGBUILDs are generated with this on. Is this really necessary? Besides that, several...

I've been updating rosdep keys in my own rosdistro fork. Managed to fix several missing dependencies problems. So far I had this problem: urlgrabber is mapped to python2-urlgrabber, but should...

> As for dependencies, we need to make PRs to rosdistro when Arch/AUR packages have been named differently than Debian's packages. For example, python-urlgrabber does not have an entry for...

Ah, ok. Great then.

I managed to compile ros-kinetic-perception and ros-kinetic-desktop. I had to patch rviz for gcc6 (as with Indigo). I think stage has a similar issue, but I skipped ros-kinetic-simulators. Only remaining...

Great! When my rosdep pull request is accepted maybe you can see why urlgrabber is being changed into python2-urlgrabber. I've looked at the code but it seems that it uses...

The corrected rosdep keys were accepted in rosdistro repo. I've now submitted a PR to rosdistro for adding ArchLinux to distribution files to at least have that ready. @bchretien While...

Oh, ok. Good luck with your defense then =) I had mine two months ago. I'm not sure if I would be able to maintain all these packages. It would...
