Revision history [back]

You can install from debian packages and not use rosinstall to create overlays. You can also just install everything by hand and manage your ros environment variables by hand. Rosinstall is just a helper script that makes keeping repositories up-to-date and managing the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH more convenient.

To give a better answer, it would be good to know what exactly you are looking for, i.e. which features you need? Why do you need an alternative?
