That works fine if it&#39;s a package with no unsatisfied dependences, but installing other stacks/packages like say, the kinematics package (<a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/kinematics">http://www.ros.org/wiki/kinematics</a>) then I have to manually checkout all of those dependencies.<div>

<br></div><div>I can see that roslocate can tell me where to checkout a package from, but I don&#39;t understand how to feed that into rosinstall. Do I just do &quot;roslocate info $packagename &gt; foo.rosinstall; rosinstall /path/to/install file://`pwd`/foo.rosinstall&quot;?</div>

<div><br></div><div>I found the install scripts at <a href="http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/">http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/</a> but that seems rather hacky, is this the recommended way of doing things? If so, why are there no diamondback files there?</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;d really appreciate someone taking the time to explain this to me, because really none of it makes sense, and the wiki seems to imply that it&#39;s trivial to get stacks/packages listed on the wiki.</div>

Someone else can answer how to do this with rosinstall, but in my mind the easiest way to do it would be to do an svn checkout of the repository/stack. <div>-David!!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">
