[ros-users] ROS in MacOSX (just concerns)

Fri Sep 2 04:07:18 UTC 2011

tl;dr: Yes, when it's ready.

If I can get to a point where is it working as a viable solution, yes.  I
have already put about ~12 patches up that are non-homebrew related but
rather OS X specific and several of them have been accepted and been
committed for the next version of several of the stacks.  For now macports
is the only solution for Mac that is in the ROS distribution.

I don't plan to submit patches for Homebrew support until I can prove that
you can go all the way with Homebrew, which for all intensive purposes in
being able to build the visualization stack.  Additionally, the homebrew
support needs some polish before I try and roll it into a set of patches.

I know the github repo isn't exactly a good solution, and it is constantly
changing, but it was always just a way for people to give it a try and help
find bugs and solve issues.  I never intended it to be a solution for end
users or to be permanent.

Later,
