[ros-users] Fuerte ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

[Antons Rebguns]

Hello folks,

I am trying to get the Fuerte release working on my machine and having
some trouble with generated ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. The problem is that all
entries in the path are not prefixed with the path where all my
packages are installed.

Here is the output of "echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH" right after running
rosinstall and executing "source ~/ros-f/setup.bash":

/opt/ros/fuerte/share:release:stacks/ros_release:jsk-ros-pkg/jsk_common:jsk-ros-pkg/openrave_planning:stacks/camera_drivers_experimental:foote-ros-pkg/phidgets/phidgetspp_c_api:stacks/dynamixel_motor:stacks/erratic_robot:ua-ros-pkg:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks:/opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros

I used the following rosinstall file:
http://ua-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/config/fuerte-deb.rosinstall
with this command:

rosinstall ~/ros-f/
http://ua-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/config/fuerte-deb.rosinstall

so I would expect all entries in my path to be prefixed with the
expansion of ~/ros-f instead of just taking the local-path element
from the rosinstall file and dumping it into the path variable.

Environment:
Ubuntu 10.04
rosinstall version 0.6.2 (updated today)
updated Fuerte debs

Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks,
Anton
