Hi,
Me and some guys on the forum were thinking, about coding a packet manager for ROS.
I guess you mean a Package Manager :)
(http://reactos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=164) But we would need some kind of script language. We were also thinking about using XML instead of a real lang., but a real one like python would offer much more flexibility.
Why do you "need" a scripting language? It can be done in C, and the meta-data can be stored in XML and read with XML libs, some of which are open-source. An XML lib is something we will probably integrate into the tree at one point anyways.
So my question is if you think about the packet manager idea
I like it, I think it should be a new tab in Add/Remove programs.
and if you would agree to a lib like python to the tree.
I think it's pretty much out of the question to have phyton code in the tree, or anything else but C/C++ (even C++ is barely tolerated by some devs).
