Since all pages are generated separately adding a common navigation would require some coupling which we currently avoid in order to keep things simple.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">+∞<br /><br />I've been longing for awhile for a tool like this. Thanks a lot!!<br />Those macros are so nice too to pick up mis-settings.<br /><br />I have one trivial request; can these html pages under<br /><a href="http://www.ros.org/debbuild">www.ros.org/debbuild</a> linked from each other? That would make it even<br />easier for me to explain to less-intense maintainers around me (then I<br />would be able to just give a single link).<br /><br /># where's issue tracker for these?<br /><br />Isaac<br /><br />On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 10:19 AM, Jonathan Bohren<br /><jonathan.bohren@gmail.com> wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> Cool stuff!

current
distros (G, H and I):<br /> <a href="http://www.ros.org/debbuild/compare_groovy_hydro_indigo.html">http://www.ros.org/debbuild/compare_groovy_hydro_indigo.html</a><br /><br /> Some predefined filters exist which allow to narrow down the list of repos<br /> based on the following criteria:<br /><br /> * different patch version:<br /> The packages from a repo in two ROS distros have the same major and<br /> minor version but a different patch version.<br /> Usually that implies that you should update the distro which lacks a bit<br /> behind.<br /> Temporary that might be the case when you first release a new version<br /> into one distro and after some soak time release it into the other distros.<br /><br /> * downgrade:<br /> The packages from a repo in a newer ROS distro have a lower major or<br /> minor version number.<br /> The maintainer should reconsider the versioning of the repo and<br /> rerelease the packages from the repo with proper version numbers.<br />
<br />
* same version from different branches:<br /> The packages from a repo have the same major and minor version<br /> (potentially a different patch version) but are released from different<br /> branches.<br /> That usually indicates a problem since it is likely that there could be<br /> or will be two packages with the same version but different code (since both<br /> branches might need to perform patch releases over time).<br /> Commonly the maintainer would increase the minor version when branching<br /> for the next ROS distro to avoid this kind of situation.<br /><br /> I hope you will find these pages useful when maintaining ROS packages.<br /><br /> Cheers,<br /> - Dirk<br /><hr /><br /> ros-release mailing list<br /> ros-release@code.ros.org<br /> <a href="http://lists.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-release">http://lists.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-release</a><br /></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /> --<br /> Jonathan Bohren<br /> Laboratory for Computational Se
