Will this be updated in rock on gitorious?

autoproj tells me I am on 'next' so I changed the branch to 'master' 
manually in the manifest file. But where can I change this within 
autoproj itself? It still keeps saying "rock.tutorials is neither a 
package nor a package set name", because 'next' is still used internally.

Suggestion: Maybe someone could include an "unset ROS_ROOT 
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH" in the autoproj update and build script as one always 
has to call this if one is using ROS also and wants to update it rock 
sources.
