Hey all,
Sorry that's it's taken me a bit to chime in on things. It's
been a hectic start to the week
Patrick, for your packages, if you submit a repository to the
Fuerte indexer, you'll get headers auto-generated for
that distribution. The same can be said for Groovy. So, you
shouldn't have to manually add headers. With electric, it's a
bit trickier because that's still running the old documentation
indexer and running off the distro file of released stacks. If
there's a ton of demand to have headers generated for electric,
there might be a way for me to create a hybrid system of the old
and new indexers, but it's an item that hasn't been high on my
priority list. As Christain mentioned/quoted, documentation for
electric was actually never very complete, it's just that no one
noticed because distro-level browsing wasn't something that you
could really do on the wiki.
As for the unstable builds that Mani mentions, there are
still some issues that I'm having with getting message
generation to run properly during documentation. I'm going to
try to solve this problem this week. So, for now, ignoring the
fact that a build is unstable is OK. Perhaps I should remove
those messages from the wiki until I fix the problem that is
causing the majority of this instability Once this issue is
fixed, however, the idea is that stack maintainers can see why
their builds are failing or unstable and make fixes to their
repositories as needed. This should all work properly soon,
sorry for the state of limbo that exists in the near-term.
Hope this helps and that all is well,
Eitan

Thanks
Christian,
So I guess I need to go back and add the header manually to
each wiki page for now.

Sorry to be so dense everyone, but can someone tell
me if packages that

(e.g. pi_face_tracker)
need to be resubmitted to ros-users to have the

on the Wiki page? At the moment, all my old Wiki
pages have the
following message at the top even for Electric:
Cannot load information on*name: pi_face_tracker,
distro: electric*,
which means that it is not yet in our index. Please
seethis page
<http://www.ros.org/wiki/Get%20Involved#Indexing_Your_.2A-ros-pkg_Repository_for_Documentation_Generation>for
information on how to submit your repository to our
index.
And it appears that it is not just my packages but
others (e.g.
face_recognition). Or is the new requirement that
the package has to
exist as a Debian package?
It is the same for our packages. Let me quote Eitan's
reply to my question:

The behavior for electric documentation always worked
this way. However, there was a separate indexer that
ran off of rosinstall files documenting whatever was
in them, but that is no longer run in favor of the new
system. It's possible that this old indexer produced
your headers and documentation, but the docs for
electric specifically were never generated. With the
old wiki, no one would have noticed this as per-distro
browsing wasn't something that was really possible to
do. The old indexer job was kind of weird to begin
with since it could allow for documentation to be
mixed between distros... leading to some weird
effects.
Best,
Christian
Thanks!
