How can I install openrave package for Fuerte?

Question

I'm trying to install the openrave ROS package for Fuerte on Ubuntu 12.04, but I can't find it (nothing looking like ros-fuerte-openrave... in the available packages in the repositories).

The wiki page http://ros.org/wiki/openrave says "Cannot load information on name: openrave, distro: fuerte" so I don't know where should I get the source code from to install the package from source.

Does anyone know how could I install this package?

Edit: I've found this question http://answers.ros.org/question/32866/installing-openrave-package/ where the code of the openrave_planning (that happens to contain the package I need) is checked out from:

svn co https://jsk-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jsk-ros-pkg/trunk/openrave_planning

I assume this is the right repo, but still the wiki doesn't point to the right data, and no package for this stack exists in the ROS fuerte ubuntu repositories.

That's the right place, I used a couple of packages from there with Fuerte last year.

People may write great ROS packages for their own research, but not have enough time to create a Ubuntu package or maintain external documentation like ROS wiki.

This guide will help you install it: http://sourceforge.net/p/comps/wiki/Installation/

Thanks for the link. I finally installed openrave standalone, as I found out that it was only being used as a library by our package (we don't use any ROS node that the openrave ROS package may contain).
