+# ROS on Archlinux
+## Groovy
+There are some packages for ROS Groovy in the AUR, but:
+* Some are missing, some are not building anymore
+* The current release is Hydro now
+They are currently maintained by zootboy, and the "basic stuff" can be found on github: https://github.com/zootboy/arch-ros-stacks
+Theses packages are good for a basic ROS installation, and can then be completed by catkin. But I wanted to try a little bit more...
+## Hydro
+### Status
+There's currently not support for Hydro in Arch, so ... Let's build some packages !
+I've found this repository: https://github.com/progtologist/ros-hydro-arch but it's the about the tools, not the actual ROS packages so...
+### Personal Work
+I have set-up a small svn repository so one can check-out my progress and build the packages
+    http://svn.redox.ws/svn/arch-ros-hydro/
+To checkout: `svn co http://svn.redox.ws/svn/arch-ros-hydro`
+Then, read the Readme file and get to work !
+### Catkin
+Edit the PKGBUILD:
+* Remove the python2-argparse dependency, it's in python2 core I think
+* Remove the first CMAKE option ( -DCMAKE\_BUILD\_BINARY....=ON ), so it keeps the ROS scripts like 'env.sh' or 'setup.bash'
+### Packages that doesn't build out of the box
+<code>ocl
+rviz
+openni_camera
+pano_core
+pano_py
+pano_ros
+turtlebot_panorama
+map_store
+turtlebot_core_apps
+turtlebot_apps
+kobuki_qtestsuite
+kobuki_gazebo_plugins
+kobuki_gazebo
+kobuki_desktop
+</code>
+* **rviz** because of OGRE1.9
+* openni_camera I wasn't sure about the dependency and, haven't built it yet so...
+* pano looks like it doesn't like my opencv (missing link option maybe)
+* map_store needs a fix to link with mongodb
+* kobuki_qtestsuite yields an ugly `/bin/sh: pyuic4: command not found`
+* kobuki_gazebo_plugins yields an ugly `error: ‘shared_dynamic_cast’ is not a member of ‘boost’`
+* The other gazebo are related to the previous one
