LCSR rosinstalls

A collection of rosinstall files for quickly downloading LCSR ROS packages.

Conventions

These rosinstall files assume that you're using wstool to manage multiple Catkin workspaces (subspaces): one for normal catkin packages, called underlay and one for pure-CMake packages which provide package.xml files, called underlay_isolated.

In other words, your wstool workspace contains a structure like the following:

tree -L 2
.
├── underlay
│   ├── build
│   ├── devel
│   └── src
└── underlay_isolated
    ├── build_isolated
    ├── devel_isolated
    ├── install_isolated
    └── src

Once creating this workspace, you can build it in the following manner (this will create a pair of chained Catkin subspaces):

unset CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
source /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/setup.sh
cd underlay_isolated
catkin_make_isolated --install
source install_isolated/setup.sh
cd ../underlay
catkin_make
source devel/setup.sh

To load any rosinstall files from this repository into your workspace:

curl https://raw.github.com/jhu-lcsr/rosinstalls/master/SECTION/FILE.rosinstall | wstool merge -

The RAW links can be found conveniently in the README.md files in each secion, listed below.

Sections

  • applications - Application-specific rosinstall files (ROS and non-ROS packages)
  • isolated - Catkin isolated workspaces (non-ROS packages in underlay_isolated)
  • catkin - Catkin normal workspaces (ROS packages in underlay)
  • deprecated - Nobody cares about these. Ignore them.
