+Subject: [PATCH] gscam_nodelet.h: include scoped_ptr.hpp to compile with boost
+ 1.57
+
+When compiling gscam with the currently latest boost version 1.57,
+it fails with:
+In file included from [...]/src/gscam_nodelet.cpp:5:0:
+[...]/include/gscam/gscam_nodelet.h:20:12: error: 'scoped_ptr' in namespace 'boost' does not name a template type
+     boost::scoped_ptr<GSCam> gscam_driver_;
+            ^
+[...]/include/gscam/gscam_nodelet.h:21:12: error: 'scoped_ptr' in namespace 'boost' does not name a template type
+     boost::scoped_ptr<boost::thread> stream_thread_;
+            ^
+
+It seems that the dependencies of boost/thread.hpp have changed
+and boost/scoped_ptr.hpp is not included anymore with
+boost/thread.hpp. Hence, the scoped_ptr is not defined in the
+gscam_nodelet header. After scanning quickly through the release
+notes of version 1.57, the boost bug tracker and a few changesets,
+I could not find not a hint what has changed in the thread library
+that gscam must include scoped_ptr itself.
+
+This commit simply addresses the compiler error by explicitly
+adding boost's scoped_ptr header in the gscam_nodelet header.
+As this commit also compiles with boost version 1.56, the commit
+is not expected to cause any problems with other build
+configurations.
