Hi,
Is it possible to set the ROS_MASTER_URI variable from inside a launch file?
I tried this:
<env name="ROS_MASTER_URI" value="
http://strange:11311"/>
But it doesn't seem to have any effect, as seen in the output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
roslaunch pelican_launch gmapping.launch

Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.
