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-resource-retriever Version : 1.11.6 URL : http://www.ros.org/wiki/resource_retriever License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: C++, Python Description : Robot OS resource_retriever library This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It retrieves data from url-format files such as http://, ftp://, package:// file://, etc., and loads the data into memory. The package:// url for ros packages is translated into a local file:// url. The resource retriever was initially designed to load mesh files into memory, but it can be used for any type of data. The resource retriever is based on the the libcurl library.
