Install rosdep definition locally in a package
On Groovy (and presumably applicable in the later distros), is there a way to define rosdep rules in a package locally to add/overwrite the ones defined in rosdistro [0]? I couldn't get the answer from reading its doc.
I have a situation where I want to use pip for installing a depended library (python-psutil), instead of using apt (see this conversation for the reason if you're interested in it). And (according to this discussion,) a rule that uses pip is recommended to be stored in a local file rather than in the public rule folder in rosdistro [0].
I've been trying to add a rule and necessary changes to my package without success like this:
$ rosdep update
reading in sources list data from /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d
: (skip)
Ignore legacy gbpdistro "groovy"
Ignore legacy gbpdistro "hydro"
Query rosdistro index https://raw.github.com/ros/rosdistro/master/index.yaml
Add distro "groovy"
Add distro "hydro"
