Hi,
I would like to specify the packages to be built within a repo as part of a local source build of ROS2 Foxy. How can I specify this in the ros2.repos file? I currently don't see any option for doing that:
ros-perception/vision_opencv:
type: git
url: https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_opencv.git
version: ros2
Thanks, S

you can't, as that's not the responsibility of a .repos file. That's only used to provide information on a set of repositories (name, location and specific version to check out).
vcs (the tool which consumes these files) does not have any concept of "package", neither does a .repos file.
To build only a subset of the packages hosted in the repositories listed in a .repos file, you could:
COLCON_IGNORE or AMENT_IGNORE files in all the directories containing packages you don't want to build, orThe latter is probably more maintainable. You'd use something like --packages-select [PKG_NAME [PKG_NAME …]] and tell Colcon exactly which packages you'd want it to build. Or something like --packages-up-to [PKG_NAME [PKG_NAME …]] which builds all packages you list plus their (transitive) dependencies.
