Catkin Workspace, exclude packages from building on specific platforms

Hi,

I have a problem that I have two systems were I build my robot stuff. One is a PC and the other one is a Raspberry Pie. I also have packages depending on Gazebo, but I do not want to have Gazebo on the RasPie. Can I somehow make Catkin ignore the package when building on Raspberry, with an exported environment variable for example?

Does somebody have some Ideas for that?

Thanks

Christian

Maybe have 2 rosinstall files ( wiki.ros.org/rosinstall / http://docs.ros.org/independent/api/rosinstall/html/rosinstall_file_format.html ) and only install only those packages on raspberry you actually want to use there (and can compile there)....

How do I use it when I want it to get the folder /nodeX from a repository like https://github.com/me/my.git to /home/cyborg-x1/ros_ws/src/

git does not support checking out certain subfolders only.
