[ros-users] overlay of a ros core package

[Nikolaus Demmel]

Ah ok thanks for the hint. Renaming is convenient indeed, since it allows something like:

(add-to-list 'load-path ; substring to strip trailing newline from rospack output
             (substring (shell-command-to-string "rospack find rosemacs-trunk") 0 -1))

Regards,
Niko

The local checkout of rosemacs is in my ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, but still the version in /opt/ros/cturtle/ros/tools/rosemacs is used. I assume this is because rospack looks in the ROS_ROOT before looking in the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH when searching for packages.
