The repos file is an artifact of our development process from before ROS2 distros existed. You can get what you want using the rosinstall_generator just like you can with ROS 1 distros. e.g.
Release tags:
rosinstall_generator --deps --rosdistro dashing ros_base
Upstream tags:
rosinstall_generator --deps --upstream --rosdistro dashing ros_base
Upstream devel branches
rosinstall_generator --deps --upstream-devel --rosdistro dashing ros_base
For faster checkouts you don't plan to edit you can use the tarballs option.
Awesome. I didn't even think to try the old setup. Thanks.
Looking for the same thing as OP. I've been following the ROS 2 build guide here: https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Instal...
For a minimal install, I should run rosinstall_generator prior to the colcon build command, correct?
