Short Description: roscompile is the easy command-line tool for fixing common ROS meta-data errors and cleaning up ROS packages. It’s built on the ros_introspection, a Python library for examining all the components of your ROS packages programmatically, making it exceedingly easy to create scripts that automate the tedious parts of being a ROS developer.
