-Subject: [PATCH] Add build dep on cmake_modules
-
-The cmake module shipped with the octomap package uses absolute paths
-that break cross-compilation builds and require additional tweaking
-(e.g. see https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros/blob/43bd17e8839f4078351895eca361804f19efb13c/recipes-ros/octomap-ros/octomap-ros_0.4.0.bb#L16)
-
-This patch makes octomap_ros use the cmake module provided by ROS's
-cmake_modules package to avoid such tweaks.
-
-Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/OctoMap/octomap_ros/pull/6]
