AMENT versus COLCON Ignore files
Hello!
I was wondering if AMENT_IGNORE files are still being used. I saw there are still some of them in some packages, like RTI Connext https://github.com/ros2/rmw_connext/b...
Do AMENT_IGNORE still have a purpose since there is COLCON_IGNORE? Or is it something that has not been updated after the release?
Thanks
Since the current ROS 2 releases can be built with both -
colcol
as well asament_tools
- we kept theAMENT_IGNORE
files for now.Thanks, I did not get that ament_tools was still being used. I though colcon became the new build tool. I guess I misread the release notes :P
colcon
is indeed the recommended build tool as of Bouncy. But users are still using Ardent and we didn't want to require them to change their workflow. Also in Bouncy we still releasedament_tools
for convenience. But future releases won't containament_tools
anymore.
