Revision history [back]

When installing ros packages from source, I do not suggest to use the development repos but the actual release repos as referenced in groovy.yaml unless you are doing real development in the package. The release repos are used to generate the debian packages. One reason for using them instead of the dev repos is that some packages are patched to add a catkin CMakeLists and package.xml file. One example is console_bridge which is actually a ros independent library and only converted to a catkin library for the release. To use a release repo, you need to check out the branch release/<package_name> and build that.
