Turtlebot Indigo install from source failing to get rocon source
When I attempt to install the Indigo version of the Turtlebot package from source using the instructions here:
http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutoria...
When I run this step:
wstool init -j5 src https://raw.github.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon/indigo/rocon.rosinstall
It ends with this error:
WARNING [vcstools] Command failed: 'git checkout hydro-devel'
run at: '/home/myuser/rocon/src/rosbridge_suite'
errcode: 1:
error: pathspec 'hydro-devel' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Exception caught during install: Error processing 'rocon_concert' : [rocon_concert] Checkout of https://github.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon_concert.git version indigo into /home/myuser/rocon/src/rocon_concert failed.

Is there something wrong with the repository, the instructions, or did I miss something somewhere?
This appears to fix the problem, based on the accepted answer:
mkdir ~/rocon
cd ~/rocon
wget https://raw.github.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon/indigo/rocon.rosinstall
vi rocon.rosinstall
REMOVE this line:
{'git': {'local-name': 'rosbridge_suite', 'version': 'hydro-devel', 'uri': 'https://github.com/RobotWebTools/rosbridge_suite.git'}},
Then install the rosbridge-suite from deb:
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rosbridge-suite
And use your edited .rosinstall file to pull everything else from github:
wstool init -j5 src rocon.rosinstall
If this fails, with an error like:
Exception caught during install: Error processing 'rocon' : [rocon] Checkout of https://github.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon.git version indigo into /home/chrisl8/rocon/src/rocon failed.
ERROR in config: Error processing 'rocon' : [rocon] Checkout of https://github.com/robotics-in-concert/rocon.git version indigo into /home/chrisl8/rocon/src/rocon failed.
Just try again like this:
rm -rf src
wstool init -j5 src rocon.rosinstall
It appears that github sometimes has timeouts or something.
Then continue with the instructions . . .
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
rosdep install --from-paths src -i -y
