How does one configure a catkin_package such that, when bloomed, it produces a Debian library pair? More exactly, for some declared catkin_package as part of the foobar project, I want...

a ros-kinetic-foobar containing ./opt/ros/kinetic/lib/libfoobar.so
a ros-kinetic-foobar-dev containing ./opt/ros/kinetic/include/foobar/foobar.h

...with the latter dependent on the former.

The ROS buildfarm / bloom does not support auto-magic splitting of Debian packages into dev and non-dev packages. When you release a package foo with the ROS release pipeline you will get a single Debian package named ros-<distro>-foo.

shucks; is there room in the bloom code for such a feature? Is anyone else asking for this?

I would expect something like to work generically to be fairly complicated. Feel free to create a ticket in https://github.com/ros-infrastructure... to start a discussion about it.

There's been a few thread on it such as https://github.com/ros/catkin/issues/20 and https://github.com/ros-infrastructure... The main problem is that it can't really be done automatically and as such requires the maintainers to build up more metadata.

Also doing this across multiple target platforms make this more complicated too.
