2015-12-11 05:47:32 -0500 asked a question Why wstool update never finishes?

I am trying to use wstool to fetch a couple of packages from github, but when I try to update it gets stuck at "Cloning into" and never finishes... What could be wrong? Is the package incompatible somehow, should it even work?

 $ wstool update -t src

You first need to install this library called "libuvc", https://int80k.com/libuvc/doc/ --- AFAIK there is no Ubuntu package yet.

2015-12-10 03:42:15 -0500 asked a question Quaternion-style view control

Most 3D modeling software allow you to control the scene view with your mouse using two different "paradigms". One of them is to associate each mouse direction with two axes in the scene. The other paradigm, or control mode, is sometimes called "quaternion" mode. It rotates the scene taking in account the current rotation. It can be sometimes a little tricky to use, but this mode is nice because it allows you to eventually put the scene in whatever angle you would like.

I have the impression rviz does not allow this control mode, am I right? If it does, how do I set it up, and if not, should I open a feature request for it?
