I have a machine that had ROS groovy installed but was not rosdep initialized/updated. The machine does not have internet access. I have nodes and nodelets on the machine, and the nodes will run but the nodelets complain about rosdep not being initialized. rospack profile does not help.
How can I initialize and update rosdep rospack_cache / rosstack_cache correctly?
This file did not work.
rosdep init doesn't need a network connection. It's just a convenience method to add the default rosdep sources.
rosdep update downloads the sources and puts them into your rosdep cache. You simply need to copy ~/.ros/rosdep/sources.cache from a machine which has been updated onto the machine which has not yet.
Alternately you could copy all the source files onto your local harddrive and change the sources.list file to point to the file:/// url then rosdep update will work w/o network, but won't update when external systems update.
@tfoote Hi,tfoote, I've tried your method to change the sources.list file like this"# os-specific listings first yaml http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/osx-homebrew.yaml osx # generic yaml http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/base.yaml yaml http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/python.yaml yaml http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/ruby.yaml gbpdistro http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/fuerte.yaml fuerte # newer distributions (Groovy, Hydro, ...) must not be listed anymore, they are being fetched from the rosdistro index.yaml instead". And then, the error comes out "ERROR: unable to process source [http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/osx-homebrew.yaml]: <urlopen error="" [errno="" 111]="" connection="" refused=""> (http://localhost:11311/home/xu/sourcelists/osx-homebrew.yaml)". Sorry for my poor English, haha...I've no idea then, looking forward to you help, thank you !
