2 months ago You are correct that you normally won't use rosdep with Nix (although it is packaged as python3Packages.rosdep, since superflore uses it to generate the packages).
For packages that aren't published and automatically included in this overlay (which includes all the carla packages except carla_msgs), you have to manually go through the package.xml and add each dependency to your Nix shell.
Im following a guide to install the carla ros bridge and it tells me to use rosdep. I installed rosdep via pip (couldnt find it in the overlay) but im hesitant to run rosdep init as that would put something in my etc directory and it feels like an anti pattern to using nix
