Does this mean you got the ROS bridge running in stable and next? Master
seems to be broken. We'll look into it.

Yes, stable and next work when tools/orogen_ros is added to Manifest.

I don't know if anyone is currently working on getting ROS Indigo working (I
include the rock-dev ml here).
Rock master is running in 14.04, tough.

I've been using master in 14.04 and it's seems to work really well. The reason for reverting to 12.04 is that only ROS Indigo is supported in 14.04.

Cheers,

Jakob
