Re: [ros-dev] Software distribution

[David Hinz]

Seems to be a good idea, I just thought of including Mozilla Control, 
because it is a very basic application. Some people even need a 
webbrowser to set up their firewall/router... so that they can access 
the internet. This aren't many people, but you never know who uses this 
OS. And I didn't want to include Mozilla control in trunk, just in 
branches like the one for 0.3.0, at least at this point.

Greets,
