Packages need to be declared as part of the 'next' flavor with

in_flavor 'master', 'next' do
  # Put package declaration here
end

*and* the source.yml file must say

  branch: $ROCK_FLAVOR

for these packages in order to having autoproj pick the "flavored" branch.

type_to_vector is in principle in next already, so that should be
covered. Don't forget that you have to run aup --all to switch all
branches properly after you change the flavor (not needed if you
bootstrap, of course).

A good way to debug this is to run

  autoproj show <package name>

For instance,

$ autoproj show data_processing/type_to_vector
source package data_processing/type_to_vector
  imported from
    type: git
    url: git://gitorious.org/rock-data-processing/type_to_vector.git
    branch: master
    push_to: git at gitorious.org:/rock-data-processing/type_to_vector.git
    retry_count: 10
    first match: in rock
      branch: $ROCK_FLAVOR
      gitorious: rock-data-processing/$PACKAGE_BASENAME
  is not directly selected by the manifest
  reverse dependencies: bundles/virgo,
data_processing/orogen/type_to_vector, virgo/orogen/averager,
virgo/orogen/filter, virgo/orogen/predictor_statespace, virgo/orogen/virgo
  selected by way of
   
virgo>virgo/orogen/virgo>virgo/orogen/predictor_statespace>data_processing/orogen/type_to_vector>data_processing/type_to_vector
  directly depends on: typelib, utilmm

(So, you can see that the first and only match is using $ROCK_FLAVOR
*and* the final branch is master since I am using master)
