I am currently connected to my institute's network, which is causing git clone to fail. But rosinstall tries to get packages with only git clone git://
Where should i change the default protocol to http:// instead of git://
Also, when i tried changing .rosisntall file for configuring it to use http instead of git, it over wrote the thing.
Download the rosinstall file:
wget http://ros.org/rosinstalls/fuerte-ros-full.rosinstall
then replace all instances of "git://" with "https://" (http may work also), but do not replace the lines that say "- git".
Then when you go to install, use the local file:
rosinstall --catkin ~/ros-underlay ./fuerte-ros-full.rosinstall
This is how I have to install also
If the git protocoll/port is blocked in your network (and only then), you could try following this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4891527/git-protocol-blocked-by-company-how-can-i-get-around-that
You could try this command:
git config --global url."http://".insteadOf git://
Which should add to your ~/.gitconfig:
[url "https://"]
insteadOf = git://
However, this can also get you into trouble if you try to clone from a server that e.g. only offers git:// and https:// (not http://), so this is not a clean solution, but might still be okay for you.
If later you find out this causes more problems than it solves, just remove the added lines from your ~/.gitconfig
Ah, very nice. I didn't know how to do this without a hack.
The .rosinstall file is normally where you would change the url. The rosinstall command only overwrites the file if you call rosinstall with further arguments.
Maybe try using rosws instead:
It could be easier to use.
rosinstall should use whatever URL you gave it, with whatever scheme.
