Revision history [back]

I would assume that you are either on diamondback or electric; both of these ROS distributions provide Stage 3.2.2 and not Stage 4.X.X. What I understand from Woodall's blog, is that his installation of stage/stageros provided with ROS did did not work on OS-X that is why he went on to install Stage 4.X.X separately and then he probably linked it up with ROS.

Yes, you are right stage is standalone, stageros is the wrapper for ROS, see here - http://answers.ros.org/question/2004/what-are-the-differences-between-stage-and.

Hope that answers your question.
