I would like to install ROS2 Bouncy from source on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I've been following these install instructions: https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Instal... and only changed the --rosdistro parameter from crystal to bouncy in "Install dependencies using rosdep" section. However, I keep getting crystal as an output of 'printenv ROS_DISTRO" command after sourcing the workspace.

What else needs to be changed in order to obtain Bouncy source?

You'd most likely have to change the URL to the ros2.repos file in the Get ROS 2 code section from pointing to the latest-release to bouncy (which are basically two different branches in the ros2/ros2 repository).

So:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros2/ros2/release-latest/ros2.repos

should be:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros2/ros2/bouncy/ros2.repos

See also the Maintaining a Source Checkout of ROS 2 page.

You might be able to use rosinstall_generator as well:

rosinstall_generator --tar --deps --rosdistro=bouncy  ros_core > bouncy.rosinstall

But I'm not sure whether that will result in a successful build on Xenial (as Xenial support for Bouncy is basically "Tier 2").

I used the first solution you proposed and it worked, thank you.
