eigen_typekit and kdl_typekit do not install package.xml

[smits]

Which version of rtt_geometry are you using/refering to? My current install space looks as follows:
'''
tree share/eigen_typekit/
share/eigen_typekit/
├── cmake
│   ├── eigen_typekitConfig.cmake
│   └── eigen_typekitConfig-version.cmake
└── package.xml
tree share/kdl_typekit/
share/kdl_typekit/
├── cmake
│   ├── kdl_typekitConfig.cmake
│   └── kdl_typekitConfig-version.cmake
└── package.xml
'''

I'm on commit dd9f343

Indeed! It looks like the current branch builds installs it correctly. I was using the current released branch. I'd like to keep this issue open until you have a release.

On a related note, it looks like you've made these catkin packages. Do you call catkin_package() anywhere?

For reference http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0136.html#install-a-catkin-package-xml

[smits]

catkin_package is called under the hood by the orocos cmake macros in case it is build by catkin, without adding unnecessary catkin dependencies otherwise.

[cottsay]

Very nice. Whenever this package is released, we can close this.

Thanks much!

[smits]

Release has happened by now.

This issue still persists in the current released debian packages. Neither the cmake configuration files nor package.xml files are in the 2.8.1 debian packages.

No. Only if the package is built with catkin. But the buildfarm calls cmake directly:

So either the packages need to call catkin_package() themselves or the debian/rules file needs to be patched to add -DORO_USE_CATKIN=ON, which would enforce the catkin build mode.

Fixed in version 2.8.1 for ROS indigo and jade and version 2.9.1 for ROS kinetic following the debian/rules approach:

• ros/rosdistro#15635
• ros/rosdistro#15636
• ros/rosdistro#15637
