Hi Lorenz, <br>If you used rosinstall to install to ~/foo. It is recommended to use ~/rosinstall -u ~/foo. This will go through and update all your source checkouts in the rosinstall file. As well as svn it also supports bzr and git checkouts. <br>
<br>As for the debian building infrastructure. Right now it's not structured in a way that a releasing it would be useful. In the future we do plan to streamline it and make it available. <br><br>Tully<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
great work!<br>
<br>
Is there already a tutorial on how to build these debian packages? We<br>
are still using debian lenny and I'm curious if it would be hard for<br>
us to build the packages for our platform.<br>
<br>
And as a second remark, I couldn't find documentation on how to update<br>
the new installation when it's not based on debian packages but the<br>
svn repositories. Since it is discouraged to use the 'all' repository<br>
now and the rosinstall script just checks out lot's of small<br>
repositories, going into every dir and doing an svn up seems to be<br>
quite cumbersome. I found an update option in rosinstall, but I<br>
couldn't find any documentation for it. But is it the recommended way<br>
to do the update?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Lorenz<br>
