Revision history [back]

You cannot put a rosdep rule in a package. Rosdep is a system wide configuration. You can add a custom source in your rosdep sources. /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list

such as: yaml file:///home/USER/local_custom_rosdep.yaml

You can use this for your own packages but you cannot distribute packages relying on this.
