$ ROSDISTRO is rolling, although ROS2 Galactic is installed

asked 2021-06-19 01:54:25 -0500

I have recently installed ROS2 Galactic from source with instructions from the tutorials (https://docs.ros.org/en/galactic/Inst...)

When I open a new terminal, and run echo $ROS_DISTRO, the variable is empty as expected.

I source galactic's setup file, source ~/ros2_galactic/install/setup.bash, then run echo $ROS_DISTRO.

rolling is printed out in the terminal, whereas it should be galactic, why could this be happening?

Could be because the version of the ros2.repos file those instructions have you download points to master, which makes you download the rolling branch of ros_environment.

Not sure why the documentation tells you to do that.

The Foxy instructions download the foxy version of ros2.repos.

I'd suggest opening an issue on the ros2/ros2_documentation issue tracker. You might even already fix it and submit a PR.

Confirmed that, that is the case. Thanks! I have put a PR up for the fix. (https://github.com/ros2/ros2_document...)

@ijnek: I guess this did not solve the problem after all?

@gvdhoorn Apologies, I accidentally unchecked this as the correct answer without realising. Back to correct answer!
