As you know, the answer for your question is described on this page ( http://wiki.ros.org/fuerte/Installati... ).
rosws init ~/fuerte_workspace /opt/ros/fuerte
This command creates the files setup.bash, setup.sh, setup.zsh and the hidden file .rosinstall in the directory ~/fuerte_workspace. I also answered your question on this page( http://answers.ros.org/question/15578... ). Didn't you look at it?
I try to execute your answer but still appear that """ImportError: No module named six """!!!
The problem is solved on your page ( http://answers.ros.org/question/155841/creating-a-new-overlay/ ). Thanks, @ahendrix!
rosinstall takes a file with the extension .rosinstall
, and fetches the contents described within. This is most commonly used to reproduce source code layouts among different users. You can use the rosinstall_generator
tool to generate .rosinstall
files for many kinds of workspaces. For example this command would generate a .rosinstall
file for the desktop variant of ROS hydro:
$ rosinstall_generator desktop --deps --tar --rosdistro hydro
The file will be printed to the terminal and can be captured into a file like this:
$ rosinstall_generator desktop --deps --tar --rosdistro hydro > hydro-desktop.rosinstall
Once you have a .rosinstall
file you can use the rosinstall
tool to fetch them all to a destination:
$ rosinstall /tmp/ros-hydro-desktop/src hydro-desktop.rosinstall
rosinstall
provides other functionality for older ROS distributions like fuerte
, but you can read all about rosinstall
here:

You can install rosinstall
on Ubuntu like this:
$ sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall
And on other platforms you can install it from pip
:
$ sudo pip install rosinstall
