[ros-users] ros_comm_upstart for Fuerte and Groovy

[Felix Kolbe]

Your readme misses that the job now is named distro specific, e.g.
'roscore-fuerte'.
For those also unfamiliar with upstart: type 'status <tab><tab>'.

Thanks again for that package!
Felix

> Dear all,
> I have updated the roscomm_upstart page to add Ubuntu packages for
> Fuerte and Groovy.
>
> You can find the new versions here:
> https://github.com/laas/ros_comm_upstart/downloads
>
> The full project description is in the README:
> ---------------------------
> ros_comm_upstart
> This project is a native Debian package, i.e. the only way to use it
> is through the generated Debian package.
>
> They can be found on the Downloads section of the GitHub project:
> https://github.com/laas/ros_comm_upstart/downloads
>
> Download the last version
> Install it: $ sudo dpkg -i
> ./ros-{electric,fuerte,groovy}-ros-comm-upstart_*_all.deb
> Enjoy!
> roscore is now available as a service running as a separate user.
>
> The Debian package creates a user and a group called 'ros'. The system
> user home directory is '/var/lib/ros'.
>
> As any other upstart service, it can be controlled as follow:
> * start: start roscore
> * stop: stop roscore
> * restart: restart roscore
> * status: status roscore
> The log files are stored in /var/log/ros and cleaned using logrotate regularly.
>
> The roscore process id is stored in /var/run/roscore.pid.
>
> Uninstalling the package will not delete the user not the group. You
> have to do it manually. The user home directory as well as the logs
> will also remain on the filesystem.
>
> Use the GitHub issue tracker to report feedbacks and bugs:
