Revision history [back]

The comment on the rosbash wiki page was outdated. I have updated the wiki page.

The correct way is to source /opt/ros/DISTRONAME/setup.bash instead of the rosbash file. This will not only give you bash-specific completions but also the correct environment variable like ROS_ROOT, ROS_PACKAGE_PATH etc.
