Hi everyone, because of this question, I would like to add a rosdep rule for octomap_mapping -> ros-fuerte-octomap-mapping. I went to the rosdep page and read the instructions on how to do it. I created a github account, read the instructions there, forked the directory, added it to my local github sources, used google to find out how to use git to get a local checkout of a github repository and browsed through the rosdep/base.yaml and releases/fuerte.yaml.

Now I am stuck because I don't know how to add the rule. The existing octomap rules in releases/fuerte.yaml are cryptic to me and the rules in base.yaml never reference a ros-fuerte-xxx package. I am a bit frustrated about the time lost at the entry barrier. Any suggestions how to get it done quickly?

If octomap is in releases/fuerte.yaml make sure you have the line:

gbpdistro https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/raw/master/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte

in your rosdep sources

And make sure to set ROS_DISTRO=fuerte

Such that you will get the following:

$ ROS_DISTRO=fuerte rosdep resolve octomap
#apt
ros-fuerte-octomap

I'm not sure, where you are stuck. Is it the git/github part or the ROS/rosdep part?

As to git, maybe you did something too complicated. The biggest obstacle would probably be creating a github account and maybe learning some raw basics about git. The actual workflow should be quite simple:

Click the fork button on rosdistro
Within your fork in github, copy the repository URL from the top
git clone <paste>
Do stuff...
git commit
git push
Back on github: Click the Pull Request button at the top and proceed

Thanks, I'm stuck with "Do stuff", I'll clarify in the original post

I just realized that you want to add a rule for a release ROS package, not a system package (although raw octomap is). I think this is similar to my earlier question: http://answers.ros.org/question/48825/rosdep-rules-for-released-stacks/

There are some rules for a minor number of ROS packages, but I don't know where they come from...
