[Rock-dev] Confusing autoproj list-config behavior

Hi,

I just tried to strictly follow the tutorial on installing packages[1]
and I'm somehow confused about autoproj's list-config output while
trying to install for example the dynamixel driver:

autoproj list-config xsens_imu reports at the end:

autoproj: wrong package selection on command line, cannot find a match
for xsens_imu

So far, so good since this behavior is described in the tutorial. So I
searched the package on rock-robotics, found the rock short
description wich I add to the package-set part of my autoproj manifest:

- - gitorious: rock/package_set

The tutorial says autoproj list-config dynamixel should now give me a
warning that the dynamixel package is not installed, but it does not.
Same if sourcing env.sh again. When adding the driver to the layout
section and calling autoproj update/build, the dynamixel driver will
be installed fine.

So a) autoproj list-config is not behaving as it should, b) the
tutorial is wrong or c) I'm missing something.

Hopefully I won't be washed away by people shouting c) at me...

Regards,
Leif
