Revision history [back]

Future releases of ROS will try to move away from the concept of a ROS_ROOT to be FHS compliant, meaning users will be able to install ROS like other other software into e.g. /usr/local/. So there will not be any ROS_ROOT anymore in the future. To be future-proof, do not assume that a ROS_ROOT exists, even in concept.
