[ros-users] Software Status Reporting and Custom Builds

Adolfo,

Travis is more powerful than I originally thought.  Do you (or anybody else) have an example script for setting up a ROS package.

All,

I looked at Travis briefly but it seemed to be set up for stand-alone libraries or those with minimal dependencies.  I assume "installing" ROS was not an option and building ROS packages would be impossible.  Am I missing something?
I had the same question, and a colleague pointed me to the Travis configuration file of an existing project:

https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/.travis.yml
Yo can pretty much do anything you'd want to setup a ROS environment: there's apt, shell commands, scripts, you name it. I don't know if there's a limit to the workspace size though. One thing to take into account is that the supported compilers and versions are fixed (eg. gcc 4.6 and clang 3.2). More here:

Cheers,

Adolfo

Sorry, I am arriving a bit late but so far the easiest way I found to
validate the projects
I maintain is through GitHub+Travis.

By putting a badge in your root README.md file, it becomes easy to see
if the stack
is working fine or not:
https://github.com/laas/vision_visp
(change the branch to fuerte or groovy to see release per release status)

You can have different .travis.yml file on different branches so that
you can check
for all currently maintained ROS versions.

The killer feature compared to the usual buildfarm is that it
annotated automatically
pull requests with the CI status so that you can see if you can merge
the pull request
safely or not.

Great that you bring this up Thomas. Another tool that I've seen you're using is coveralls<https://coveralls.io>, which adds much needed visibility to coverage information (free for open source projects).

As for the CLA, I am currently using on another project the one from
the Canonical
Harmony project:
http://www.harmonyagreemeI'm junts.org/<http://www.harmonyagreements.org/>
...and I keep the signature on echosign:
https://www.echosign.adobe.com/en/home.html

See the CONTRIBUTING.md of this project for instance:
https://github.com/roboptim/roboptim-core/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

I wasn't familiar with CLAs until this thread. It's good to start raising awareness on these things.
Thanks,
Adolfo.

Best,
