1 | initial version |
The repos file is an artifact of our development process from before ROS2 distros existed. You can get what you want using the rosinstall_generator just like you can with ROS 1 distros. e.g.
Release tags:
rosinstall_generator --deps --rosdistro dashing ros_base
Upstream tags:
rosinstall_generator --deps --upstream --rosdistro dashing ros_base
Upstream devel branches
rosinstall_generator --deps --upstream-devel --rosdistro dashing ros_base
For faster checkouts you don't plan to edit you can use the tarballs option.
