Just curious, what is source entry for? Does it do any specific job in the release process?
Not sure about other uses, but for me it is useful in conjunction with rosinstall_generator
. E.g.
$ rosinstall_generator --rosdistro hydro --repos kobuki --upstream
- git:
local-name: kobuki
uri: https://github.com/yujinrobot/kobuki.git
version: 0.5.6
but rosinstall_generator --rosdistro hydro --repos kobuki_desktop --upstream
errors out because of the missing entires in rosdistro
.
That's one. Another is that it makes available the option to do pre-releases with the latest source instead of the latest release tarball.
Fixed.
Thanks!
It seems that https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/hydro/distribution.yaml is missing the
source
entry forkobuki_desktop
and also others, likekobuki_core
orkobuki_soft
. I did not check the other ROS distros.
