[ros-users] rosinstall script creating rosinstall local branches for git repositories

Thu Aug 12 22:44:55 UTC 2010

I have run into this as well, and maybe I am unfamiliar with how you guys
are using git, but I think the way the rosinstall did its git checkout
before was fine.  I don't understand why it has to make a new branch when it
git clones the repository?

Additionally, at the end of rosinstall I now get this error:

...
ERROR: No ROS_ROOT defined.  The 'ros' stack is required in all rosinstall
directories. Please add a definition of the 'ros' stack either manually in
.rosinstall and then call 'rosinstall .' in the directory. Or add one on the
command line 'rosinstall .
http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/boxturtle_ros.rosinstall'. Or reference an
existing install like in /opt/ros/boxturtle with 'rosinstall .
/opt/ros/boxturtle'.  Note: the above suggestions assume you are using
boxturtle, if you are using latest or another distro please change the urls.
...

So then I run export to check and this is what I get:

~$ export
...
declare -x
PATH="/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
declare -x PWD="/home/mowbot"
declare -x PYTHONPATH=":/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/core/roslib/src"
declare -x ROS_MASTER_URI="http://localhost:11311"
declare -x ROS_PACKAGE_PATH="/opt/ros/cturtle/stacks"
declare -x ROS_ROOT="/opt/ros/cturtle/ros"
...

This means that it also does not generate a setup.sh file for me to source.
 I have attached the whole transcript of the problem.

I tried what the message told me and tried doing 'rosinstall .
/opt/ros/cturtle' before trying the ros install of my repository and that
did not change anything.

Also, I was looking for how rosinstall is supposed to work now and I think
that if the ros_tutorials are included in the deb packages now then the
tutorials are not going to work.  Specifically the second tutorial instructs
users to roscreate-pkg without telling them to change directories or
anything.  Now if they started tutorial two directly from tutorial one they
should still be in turtlesim's pkg directory, which by default will not be
writable to most users and roscreate-pkg will fail with permission denied.

I appreciate any insight into how I should be setting up my working
environment differently or to why I am getting errors from rosinstall.

Thanks,
