Package as debian for ROS distribution

[tpanzarella]

In speaking with @shaun-edwards it seems like a worthwhile effort to package up this interface to libo3d3xx for inclusion into the mainstream ROS distribution.

Releasing this should be nearly trivial -- we will just need to make sure that build/run depends are correct and that install directives are included for all relevant aspects.

The harder one will be releasing the underlying library package. My recommendation there would be to drop a package.xml in, and release as a 3rd party pure CMake package (we might have to adjust the CMake to make sure that things get installed in the right directories so we no longer need the setup.bash file).

I probably won't get time to look at this until sometime next week or weekend, but I can certainly help out.

OK, well that is good news. Do you expect there to be any issues with all of the automated ROS building infrastructure in terms of utilizing C++11?

[mikeferguson]

Shouldn't be any issues with C++11 -- the farm build vs a local build isn't much different.

[tpanzarella]

Great. I appreciate the help.

@mikeferguson For the underlying C++ library libo3d3xx the unit tests require the hardware being present. I supposed in terms of the "build farm", we would just configure the unit tests to not run? Or will we need to put "mocks" in place?
