This change adds the
ros2-dependencies
target property, which allows to specify additional ROS2 packages that the LF program depends on. This is analogous to thecargo-depencies
property for Rust. This mechanism is particularly useful for defining custom ROS2 types using IDL in a separate package and making those available in the LF program. Colcon will automatically locate the additional dependencies and make sure that all relevant headers are available and libraries are linked correctly.
