Kinetic experimental v3 alpha1 check versions

[johannesschrimpf]

Add script for version check

check-version.py polls the official rosdistro file and compares the
version numbers in the meta layer with the official versions.

Usage:
List all versions:                  ./check-versions.py list (--details)
List all versions that don't match: ./check-versions.py mismatch (--details)
Update recipe to dist version:      ./check-versions.py update <package> (--downgrade)
Update all recipes to dist version: ./check-versions.py update-all (--downgrade)

I have seen the pull request for the indigo branch. As I regularly just rebase the kinetic branch (v3 stands for the third rebase already). Once the pull request is merged in indigo, it will be included in kinetic as well as soon as I rebase this branch and publish it under kinetic-experimental-v4.

Ok, just remember to set the distribution variable to kinetic after merging/rebasing so it checks against the right repo. It would be nice to read the distribution from the layer, but it still states indigo in the layer configuration. Is there a reason for that?

Well, updating this variable in the layer.conf has just been overlooked. The branch is currently still experimental! The patch that updates the layer.conf has just been merged.
