Hi Brice,

the URI needs a hostname, so it should look like this:

file://localhost/home/martin/code/rosdistro/rosdep/base.yaml

The instructions from the official documentation tell you to first push to your forked github repo and then directly use your github links, but I prefer testing my rules locally (using a set of rules like the one above) before pushing to github.

You should still create a github account, fork the repository etc. (as explained in the page I linked to) and edit the forked files. Your sources.list.d entry should point to those files. That way, when you're satisfied, you can submit a pull request so everybody can use your rosdep rules.
