manifest of package robotcad must not contain the following tags: date, freecadmin, content, icon

[altineller]

Hello,

I made a new workspace, robotcad_ws and under it created a directory src, and inside src I cloned this repository.

After that under ~/robotcad_ws I run the command:

rosdep install -y -r -q --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro ${ROS_DISTRO}

only to get the following error:

Error(s) in package '/home/can/robotcad_ws/src/freecad.robotcad/package.xml': Error(s):

• The manifest of package "RobotCAD" (with format version 1) must not contain the following tags: date, freecadmin, content, icon
• The "license" tag must not have the following attributes: file
• The "url" tag must not have the following attributes: branch

Looking at the file package.xml it contains many non-standard tags.

What am I doing wrong?

Best Regards, Can

Answering my own question: after cloning the repository, we cd to docker/ros2ws under the cloned repository and then install dependencies with the given command. It then installs dependencies with no problem. Best regards, C.A.
