Convert ROS packages to Debian packages.
Required The ROS distribution codename to compile for.
Required The Debian/Ubuntu distribution codename to compile for.
Repos file with list of repositories to package. Defaults to sources.repos.

Additional rosdep sources.
Set to ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} to deploy to a DEB_DISTRO-ROS_DISTRO branch in the same repo.
If set to true, all previous commits on the target branch will be discarded. For example, if you are deploying a static site with lots of binary artifacts, this can help prevent the repository from becoming overly bloated

with:
ROS_DISTRO: rolling
DEB_DISTRO: jammy
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
You can run this action locally on Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian bookworm and newer system.
Run ./prepare -d <deb_distro> once to set up the system and/or adapt to your needs.
It will create a ~/.cache/sbuild with sufficient rights for the sbuild process, a ~/.sbuildrc and a ./src with the checked out repos.
Run ./build -r <ros_distro> -d <deb_distro> in a ROS workspace (or the current directory with ./src) to generate the packages into the apt_repo folder.
You can run ./build -c to skip already built packages.
The rosdep cache is updated twice within the script to include the packages in the local repo, but reverted to the original cache afterwards.
Run ./repository -r <ros_distro> -d <deb_distro> to create an apt repository.
You can directly use it on your local machine by adapting the path from the generated README.md.
