I ran into this error earlier, I started playing around with different variants and distros in the url, but after a bit the original command started working for me, I just figured someone was fixing/updating something.

Hi,

The svn install of ROS Diamondback fails with the error message:

$ rosinstall ~/ros
"https://code.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"
rosinstall operating on /home/u0063509/ros from specifications in
rosinstall files
https://code.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no
ahhhhhhhh, yaml parse error: while scanning for the next token
found character '\t' that cannot start any token
 in "<file>", line 7, column 1
Usage: rosinstall PATH [URI] [options]

rosinstall: error: None

Looks like a typo in the rosinstall script?
