Question / concerns / comments

This is a new additive API. The change is that now specifying an argument is an addative merge with the existing rosinstall file.

• 'rosinstall ~/ros bt.rosinstall' -> installs boxturtle

• 'rosinstall ~/ros bt_pr2.rosinstall' -> installs pr2 on top of boxturtle

• 'rosinstall ~/ros' updates ros and pr2

• 'rosinstall ~/explicit_overlay -p /opt/ros/bt full_install.rosinstall' -> overlays whatever's not in opt/ros into explicit overlay directory, uses new "overlay: ['path1', 'path2']" syntax in this.rosinstall

• 'rosinstall ~/explicit_overlay' only updates the overlay

Questions:

• remove syntax??

no merging, only append, do not deduplicate, rely on ROS_PACKAGE_PATH.

- overlay:
    local-name: bt
    path: /opt/ros/bt
- svn:
    uri: https://
    local-name: common
    version: r1600
- svn:
    uri: https://
    local-name: common_msgs
- stack:
    uri:  https://code.rosdistro
    local-name: pr2_common
    version: latest
    rule: dev-svn
- variant:
    local-name: pr2_all
    version: latest
    uri: https://code.ros.rosdistro
    rule: release-svn (default, other are dev-svn)

usefulness:

mkdir /tmp/rosinstall_test
rosinstall /tmp/rosinstall_test/ros http://rosinstalls/boxturtle_ros.rosinstall
rosinstall /tmp/rosinstall_test/base -p /tmp/rosinstall_test/ros http://rosinstalls/boxturtle_base_overlay.rosinstall
rosinstall /tmp/rosinstall_test/base http://rosinstalls/boxturtle_pr2_overlay.rosinstall http://rosinstalls/wg_boxturtle_devel.rosinstall
rosinstall /tmp/rosinstall_test/base

Development

Install: sudo easy_install rosinstall

source install:

- svn: {local-name: ros, uri: 'https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros/branches/ros-1.0'}
- svn: {local-name: ros_tutorials, uri: 'https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros_tutorials/trunk'}
- svn: {local-name: ros_release, uri: 'https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros_release/trunk'}

To use source install:

roscd rosinstall
make
. setup.sh

make copies files from roslib2 for distribution. (distro.py and vcs python package) setup.sh simply sets your python path for running uninstalled.
