It seems to be a very confusing matter. There exists ros_release, with rosdeb , also there is a catkin-deb and bloom, and think I have seen different repositories with this tools.
The question is simple: How to make a debian package out of a ros package or stack in fuerte and how it is done in groovy.
I want to make my own debian repository by compiling all the packages from ros again but in debian (and maybe fixing in the way whatever is necessary). I have managed to build ros-fuerte-catkin ros-fuerte-rospack ros-fuerte-ros vcstools and others, but once I want something like rviz (or visualization stack), then I don't know where to look for.
I also have seen this: github . com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/releases/fuerte.yaml which has a list that I can almost compile completely to debian, but still just basic ros stuff, and not the useful packages.
I have seen also instructions on how to add ros packages to a buildfarm which I guess is in willowgarage to generate for me the debian package, but I want to generate my own packages, also for debian sid and not for ubuntu.
I would expect for this sort of thing also some kind of tool to build all packages and its dependecies recursively automaticaly.
Any help of how to do this would be awesome.
All the best, Federico.
