Can't rosinstall ~/ros {ros-full}

[Edit]: as of 07/27/2012 the installation files are online again. Problem solved.

Hello,

I am trying to install Ros Electric with the ros-full layer only on a Raspbian Wheezy distribution ( on a Raspberry Pi ).

Rigorously following the steps from http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/Debian here is what I get:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=ros-full&overlay=no"
rosinstall operating on /home/pi/ros from specifications in rosinstall files  http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=ros-full&overlay=no

(Over-)Writing /home/pi/ros/.rosinstall
(Over-)Writing setup.sh, setup.bash, and setup.zsh in /home/pi/ros
ERROR in rosinstall:
No 'ros' stack detected in candidates [].
Please add the location of a ros distribution to this command.

See http://ros.org/wiki/rosinstall.

It seems that the file pointed by the url is empty. I am pretty sure I am just missing something, but can't figure out what.

Hope someone can help me with this.

PerkinsJames: thank you, but this does not help. The issue is that the address http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=electric&variant=ros-full&overlay=no points to an empty file. ( as of 07/26/12 )
