[Rock-dev] autoproj 1.7.9 has been released

[Sylvain Joyeux]

This is mainly a bugfix release. See release notes below

==== Changes for users
* fix passing autoproj options from aup and amake to autoproj itself
   (it was broken). One can now *really* do
     amake --no-deps
   as advertised by the 1.7.8 release notes.
* orogen: removed automatic dependency detection, it was half-broken
   anyway. It means that all dependencies must be listed explicitely
   (either in the manifest.xml or in the autoproj configuration)
* orogen: avoid unnecessary regeneration (experimental, disabled by
   default).It can be enabled by setting
      Autobuild::Orogen.always_regenerate = true
   in autoproj/init.rb
* fix some bad behaviour when using fallback importers
   - report the original error instead of the error in the fallback
     importer
   - git does not update the git configuration with the bad URLs anymore
     It fixes an issue with custom gitorious installations that don't
     offer an HTTP access method: autoproj was falling back to that, and
     was (obviously) failing. The result was that the remote on the
     package was then setup to use http://git. URLs, that are not valid

==== Changes for configuration writers
* improve ruby 1.9 compatibility
* fix ignoring osdeps dependencies completely, i.e.
    ruby: ignore
   is now working fine (before, one had to provide at least an OS name)
* on dpkg-based systems (debian, ubuntu), fix detection of installed
   virtual packages
* autoproj_bootstrap now follows the AUTOPROJ_DEFAULT_OSDEPS
   environment variable
