Dependencies on user_packages

edit

Hello everyone,

I have in my catkin_ws/src folder two packages, A and B.

Package A depends on package B and joy on build time. I have declared at package.xml of A

<build_depend>B</build_depend>
<build_depend>joy</build_depend>

I would like to use rosdep to have users install joy automatically. However, that means that rosdep will try to download package B as well, and naturally fail.

Is there a way for rosdep to discern user packages and not search for them?

Thanks
