\" \* \" means that this is not the upstream version (available on the
62+
official Operating System repositories) but a package distributed by
63+
OSRF or the community (package built and distributed on custom
64+
repositories).
65+
66+
\" \*\* \" means that the dependency may see multiple version changes,
67+
because the dependency uses a package manager that continually updates
68+
the dependency without a stable API.
69+
70+
This document only captures the version at the first release of a ROS
71+
distribution and will not be updated as the dependencies move forward.
72+
These versions are thus a low watermark.
