The first task would be to list the requirements for this endeavor. Because of the rolling-release style of Arch, there might be some key differences in the way we approach this compared to Debian/Ubuntu. The question of dependencies would also need to be resolved: should we package them as well? Or find a TU willing to handle them in `[community]`?\r\n\r\nConcerning bloom, I found the POC I was investigating 2 years ago. I can update it with what I ended up doing in arch-ros-stacks after, and see how far I can go.\r\n\r\ncc @v01d, @dirk-thomas\r\n\r\nRelated discussion on ROS answers [here](http://answers.ros.org/question/226178/what-is-needed-in-order-to-add-support-for-building-archlinux-packages-from-ros-packages-automatically/)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bchretien/arch-ros-stacks/issues/comments/194035539","html_url":"https://github.com/bchretien/arch-ros-stacks/issues/50#issuecomment-194035539","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bchretien/arch-ros-stacks/issues/50","id":194035539,"user":{"login":"v01d","id":161706,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/161706?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d","html_url":"https://github.com/v01d","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/v01d/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-09T00:27:50Z","updated_at":"2016-03-09T00:27:50Z","body":"Great!\nAny pointers of what things would require improvement or should I simply\nstart testing it with different packages and see what issues come up?
