FUNCTIONS

ros-catkin_src_prepare: Calls cmake_src_prepare (so that PATCHES array is handled there) and initialises the workspace by installing a recursive CMakeLists.txt to handle bundles.
ros-catkin_python_setup: Sets up python environment for ROS packages.
mycatkincmakeargs: Optional cmake defines as a bash array. Should be defined before calling src_configure.
ros-catkin_src_configure: Configures a catkin-based package.
ros-catkin_src_compile: Builds a catkin-based package.
ros-catkin_src_test: Run the tests of a catkin-based package.
ros-catkin_src_install: Installs a catkin-based package.

ECLASS VARIABLES

ROS_REPO_URI: URL of the upstream repository. Usually on github. Serves for fetching tarballs, live ebuilds and inferring the meta-package name.
ROS_SUBDIR: Subdir in which current packages is located. Usually, a repository contains several packages, hence a typical value is: ROS_SUBDIR=${PN}
CATKIN_IN_SOURCE_BUILD: Set to enable in-source build.
CATKIN_HAS_MESSAGES: Set it to a non-empty value before inherit to tell the eclass the package has messages to build. Messages will be built based on ROS_MESSAGES USE_EXPANDed variable.
CATKIN_MESSAGES_TRANSITIVE_DEPS: Some messages have dependencies on other messages. In that case, CATKIN_MESSAGES_TRANSITIVE_DEPS should contain a space-separated list of atoms representing those dependencies. The eclass uses it to ensure proper dependencies on these packages.
CATKIN_MESSAGES_CXX_USEDEP = "ros_messages_cxx(-)": Use it as cat/pkg[${CATKIN_MESSAGES_CXX_USEDEP}] to indicate a dependency on the C++ messages of cat/pkg.
CATKIN_MESSAGES_PYTHON_USEDEP = "ros_messages_python(-),${PYTHON_USEDEP}": Use it as cat/pkg[${CATKIN_MESSAGES_PYTHON_USEDEP}] to indicate a dependency on the Python messages of cat/pkg.
CATKIN_MESSAGES_LISP_USEDEP = "ros_messages_lisp(-)": Use it as cat/pkg[${CATKIN_MESSAGES_LISP_USEDEP}] to indicate a dependency on the Common-Lisp messages of cat/pkg.
CATKIN_MESSAGES_EUS_USEDEP = "ros_messages_eus(-)": Use it as cat/pkg[${CATKIN_MESSAGES_EUS_USEDEP}] to indicate a dependency on the EusLisp messages of cat/pkg.
CATKIN_MESSAGES_NODEJS_USEDEP = "ros_messages_nodejs(-)": Use it as cat/pkg[${CATKIN_MESSAGES_NODEJS_USEDEP}] to indicate a dependency on the nodejs messages of cat/pkg.
