Hi @mpowelson @Levi-Armstrong , thanks a lot for the work on opw_kinematics
, it is a great package and we are really happy user of it!
I was looking into packaging opw_kinematics
in conda-forge, and I noticed that is has now the dependency on this package. Even I guess now it is too late, I wonder if you considered giving it a less-ambiguous name, such as ros_industrial_cmake_common_scripts
or similar. As you may imagine, cmake_common_scripts
is quite a common name, that could lead to name collisions with other internal similarly named packages, and in general not be really descriptive for users.
@Levi-Armstrong I don't feel strongly about this. I may let you and any interested parties at SwRI handle this one.
@traversaro Is there a particular package it is conflicting with now? I am not opposed to changing the name but it is already being used by around 10-15 packages some internal so I would like to avoid changing it if possible so I do not have to go through and update all of the packages. That said, if it is currently in conflict with another package on an OS, I will make the change.
@gavanderhoorn What do you think?

No, it is not conflicting with anything at the moment. If it is already so used, I understand the rationale for leaving as it is, thanks!
I did not notice this has been fixed, thanks a lot @Levi-Armstrong !
After we have used this on a few projects and get it working, we should tag a 0.1.0 release so we can start pulling version tags instead of master or commits.
