Packages in between ROS versions [closed]
I'm running fuerte on 12.04 and I realize it takes a lot of work trying to keep stacks up to date in the latest ROS releases. However, when a stack, in this case the p2os stack, appears to be supported in the previous ROS release (electric) and not yet in the current (fuerte), what do you do?
Should you wait until you can properly install it?
sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-p2os
Or is it alright/recommended to try and run something (stable) in a previous release in the current release -- by grabbing the old source from the repository by hand?
Or is there an alternative option? Or am I looking for a stack that has changed names in the current release?
Thanks! I really appreciate any insight.
Great! Thanks for the response.
Did the p2os work in fuerte? And if so how did you do it, thanks
Yes I did get it work in fuerte. It's been a little while since you posted so hopefully you got things up and running. However if you're still having some trouble, if you send me a message or post where you're having trouble I'll be more than happy to help you out.
@skiesel yes after all i made it work, but thanks. Right now im working on object detection so if you know anything in the matter, or a good stack in ROS i would really appreciate it.
I think the standard direction to point is OpenCV -- I believe they are external to ROS but provide a wrapper (similar to OMPL) http://wiki.ros.org/vision_opencv
