We (Robotics section of Debian Science team) are packaging ROS (Robot OS: http://www.ros.org/) for Debian. ROS uses many packages already in Debian, but also has a set of core/toolchain/build-system packages which are not yet uploaded. This package is part of that ROS system. Most of the packaging work is already done, and available at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/ros/ Package name : ros-random-numbers Version : 0.3.0 URL : http://www.ros.org/wiki/random_numbers License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: C++ Description : Robot OS random numbers package This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It contains a library which provides wrappers for generating floating point values, integers, and quaternions using boost libraries. The constructor of the wrapper is guaranteed to be thread safe and initialize its random number generator to a random seed. Seeds are obtained using a separate and different random number generator.
