Release v2.7.0 · rock-core/autoproj

New functionality

Python package support. Autoproj installs the python package if there is a setup.py file, or use the package in-place (alike to Ruby packages) otherwise

fix reporting configuration errors with --tool (i.e. when building in vscode)
ROS' package.xml will be loaded only if the use_package_xml flag is set on the package, and ignored otherwise. Loading package.xml unconditionally caused a lot of problem for otherwise working setups, because some packages ship a ROS package.xml but no Autoproj manifest.xml - the setup being done in the package sets, and/or because there are other non-catkin build tools that use package.xml, albeit with a different format than ROS. The catking_package helper allows you to setup a CMake package that use package.xml in one declaration.
do not snapshot a package that is up to date in autoproj status, speeding up status quite a bit.
