What is the difference between catkin_create_pkg & catkin create pkg?
Hi, could someone explain (from a technical point of view) please what is the difference between catkin_create_pkg
, that http://wiki.ros.org is refering to and catking create pkg
that https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io is talking about.
The same thing, but implemented as different tools / different parts of tools.
That's it really.
Personal preference, agreed. I use catkin tools so I don't use any of the
catkin_
commands, but many are equivalent@stevemacenski, and personally why do you prefer
catkin
overcatkin_
? Is it the lack of underscore, better documentation oncatkin
tools, or something else entirely?@gvdhoorn, would it be correct to say that
catkin_
comes with ROS at each release where ascatkin
tools is a standalone package that can be separately installed and updated?Well .. yes. But I don't really understand how that is relevant to the question you asked.
@gvdhoorn, well, this detail is more technical, wouldn't you agree? I just want to find out if there is a difference between the two tools and what is it, and where is it.
Perhaps the History page in the
catkin_tools
documentation can provide insight into why it was created.@gvdhoorn, ah, I see your point. I asked about
create
verb of the tool. Yeah, you are right. It's just underlying question for me is really the difference between thecatkin
andcatkin_
tools.@gvdhoorn, perhaps. But I've spent two days there before coming here ._.
I was just looking for someone to dumb it down for me. The documentation is really great, but the author(s) assumes a knowledgeable reader with a heavy background in CS shrugs
