At least, an error should be thrown if is detected.

What new format?

Answer 2 · 2015-08-12T09:11:19.000Z

Selected with <package format="2">.

This is the first I've heard of that. It looks great, but I probably won't have time soon to fix it.

Are there any conversion scripts available? It seems theoretically easy (once roscompile supports format 2) to write one using this infrastructure.

Answer 4 · 2015-08-13T07:39:10.000Z

#13 prevents roscompile doing anything if format 2 is encountered. This could be improved by allowing modification of CMakeLists.txt but not package.xml.

Answer 5 · 2015-08-15T17:22:48.000Z

This is a valid issue, even if I can't fix it soon.

Answer 6 · 2015-08-17T06:35:32.000Z

Do you mean that you can't merge #13? #13 just prevents roscompile doing any change where it doesn't know how to do them.

Answer 7 · 2015-08-18T17:51:26.000Z

#13 is merged, so this remains an open issue for doing intelligent things with format2.

Ok, thanks!
