[Buildroot] Integrating ROS in buildroot ?

[Thierry Bultel <thierry.bultel@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

I am currently working on a project where the is a need for ROS
(http://www.ros.org/) on the target.
ROS is currently no part of buildroot packages. It is part of
Yocto/OpenEmbedded, though.

I am attempting to integrate it, so my first question is if someone-else
already has plan to do so.

My second question is related to one hard point to achieve it:
ROS git repository (see: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm) is composed of
-many- subdirectories, that have to be built with cmake each.

Cloning the repos each time, for building these directories one by one
would be inefficient, and painful, because I do not want
to have such a package granularity.
The other issue is that the current cmake infrastructure does not
support multidir build (yet). So I as thinking about extending it,
but again, would like to be sure if there no other way to to so.

Regards
Thierry
