Meeting agenda

Conclusion

Package status change mark change manifest)

• Action items that need to be taken.

• Major issues that need to be resolved

• add -R with current semantics
• replace current -r/-k with best effort
• confirm "MAKE" is the default for overrideing "make"
• make sure there's an env flag for threads ROS_MAKE_THREADS
• if user specifies it take integer, and override environment
• ticket for future: adding rosmake.rc or default arguments environment variable to have default flags for rosmake
• change default to not call rosdep if it cannot be fast enough to not annoy people(josh)
• add whitelist and whitelist recursive options
