I would like to release camera_info_manager_py, a new Python implementation of the camera info manager interface for both Fuerte and Groovy. It remains a dry stack, for now, so I can maintain the same sources for both. <div>
<br></div><div>But, I am having trouble following the instructions correctly.<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>First, I went to the Fuerte pre-release page:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://packages.ros.org/web/prerelease/create_job/fuerte">http://packages.ros.org/web/prerelease/create_job/fuerte</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Naturally, the new stack was not listed there. So, I followed the link to:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/regression_tests">http://www.ros.org/wiki/regression_tests</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Based on that, I added stanzas for the new camera_info_manager_py to the rosdistro repository:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="https://github.com/jack-oquin/rosdistro/commit/0abfa392044bcb0bc9155c21c5bd6d15ba1132fe">https://github.com/jack-oquin/rosdistro/commit/0abfa392044bcb0bc9155c21c5bd6d15ba1132fe</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Since this component has not yet been released, I copied some other entries, setting the version to null. Maybe that was a bad guess.</div><div><br></div><div>That update was merged, and now camera_info_manager_py appears as a pre-release test component for Groovy, but not Fuerte (which I had also expected).</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I tried to run a Groovy pre-release test on it, but the checkout failed. Perhaps, I used the wrong "version:" setting.</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://jenkins.willowgarage.com:8080/job/prerelease-groovy-camera_info_manager_py/ARCH_PARAM=amd64,UBUNTU_PARAM=precise,label=prerelease/2/">http://jenkins.willowgarage.com:8080/job/prerelease-groovy-camera_info_manager_py/ARCH_PARAM=amd64,UBUNTU_PARAM=precise,label=prerelease/2/</a><br>
