I've written up a tutorial on how to install indigo in a chroot on ubuntu 13.04 and compile ros packages: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/InstallingIndigoInChroot

That is very helpful. Thanks!

I was looking at various virtual machine approaches to solving this problem, but the learning curve dissuaded me from doing that so far. A step-by-step tutorial will save many people much time.

It works for me on 13.04; fixes are welcome!

Since 13.04 is no longer supported by Ubuntu, a similar tutorial based on 12.04 LTS would be very helpful for most Hydro or Groovy users.

Has anybody tried anything like this on 12.04 Precise?
