Build script to build ROS from source on Ubuntu (and probably Debian). The script installs required packages, grabs ROS sources, builds and installs ROS. With the build directory (produced by the script) available, the script is able to update your ROS installation so you have the newest version again. The script does basically the same as described on the ROS wiki. Note that the compiling ROS requires a lot of dependencies. So it is likely that the script fails to build ROS due to missing dependencies. This is not a problem, except you need to find the correct (Ubuntu) packages that provides the dependency. The script does not use rosdep to install the required dependencies. I feel that it installs far too much (unrequired) packages, which I personally do not like. Big disadvantage is that one has to manually find out what packages are missing, which might take some time. When rerunning the script (e.g. after installing a missing package) adding -U flag prevents updating the sources, which decrease the build times (considerably, depending on your internet speed).
