Groovy generator error!
The desktop and desktop-full generators,
http://packages.ros.org/web/rosinstall/generate/raw/groovy/desktop http://packages.ros.org/web/rosinstall/generate/raw/groovy/desktop-full
both return errors when I try to access them. In the web browser I get a long debug page with an HTTP Error 404, and running wstool init -j8 src <generator url> from the command line as part of the install install process gives an HTTP Error 500;
ERROR in config: Is not a local file, nor able to download as a URL [http://packages.ros.org/web/rosinstall/generate/raw/groovy/desktop-full]: HTTP Error 500: INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
What's going on here? I'm pretty sure this just started happening. Is there a workaround? Can we fix this ASAP please?
I sent an email about this to ros-users a little while ago.
@Dan Lazewatsky: Good stuff. Unfortunately I need it to get fixed before I can continue with testing really...
I wonder if there are caches anywhere for the meanwhile...
You should be able to point wstool to a local rosinstall. If you're following the wiki instructions exactly, it'll be at ~/ros_catkin_ws/src/.rosinstall.
Thanks. I'll give that a go!
@Dan Lazewatsky: Unfortunately it seems to generate a LOT of errors: http://pastie.org/pastes/6351471/text -- I wonder if this is independent.
I'm surprised you didn't come up against that before. There's a question on here somewhere that I can't find with a solution. Basically, just go into the src dir, and do rm -rf tf2*, and you should be able to continue.
@Dan Lazewatsky: There's also errors processing catkin, roslib, opencv, and others if you notice. Are these normal too? They weren't for me when I first did it: https://gist.github.com/alexreg/4965426 -- It was me that posted that question in fact, then you posted a duplicate and I redirected you :)
