Hello,

I have a catkin workspace containing some catkin packages. They were created using catkin_init_workspace and catkin_create_pkg commands respectively.

I want to move them all in another directory but I didn't find any tutorial about it. Is there something I have to do before that? Can I simply mv -r this workspace directory?

I have some doubts because using rosrun ROS I can find my packages everywhere and it doesn't ask me for paths, so I thought it could be possible only with some environment settings. I'm cautios about moving workspace, that's why I'm asking here :)

I'm using ROS Groovy and Ubuntu 12.04

So, briefly my questione are:

How to move packages into another workspace?
How to move the entire workspace with all its packages?
How to remove a package?
How to remove an entire workspace?

Thanks in advance.

For removing packages: Just delete them (and rebuild). They'll be gone.

For removing a workspace: Just delete it (there are no other traces).

When moving packages or workspaces to another directory/workspace you should probably clean the build completely and rebuild.

what if my package is build from source(clone from github and catkin_make)? Is it the same way as debian install is?

sudo apt-get remove ros-$Distro-$package_name

When I removed the source folder of a package, an error happened in catkin build command for the package. So I used the following command and the build succeeded:

catkin clean --dependents PKGNAME
