Maybe i'm saying something really stupid, but wouldn't it be a solution
to fix rosapps then? Also i recall someone volunteering to babysit
rosapps (though i forgot who it was). I think there's no point in
including apps in the main repository. Maybe we should add another
repository roscoreapps or something, which are to be included in the
minimum build (just like freeldr is, it doesn't need to be in the same
repository to do that).
