So... I'm trying to package my p2os-vanderbilt stack for groovy, and I am having some issues.

Upon running Bloom by the tutorial here, I received the following error:

allenh1@allenh1-Vostro-430:~/p2os-release$ git-bloom-release groovy

I'm very new to this, so it's probably some kind of obvious git setup thing. Thanks in advance,

The error that you want to look at in the above snippet is this:

WARNING [vcstools] Command failed: 'git archive -o /tmp/tmpi4MO7t/p2os-1.0.0.tar 1.0.0'
 run at: '/tmp/tmp6kdnW0/upstream'
 errcode: 128:
fatal: Not a valid object name
[/vcstools]

This is git reporting that the 1.0.0 object name does not exist. Later bloom lets you know that 1.0.0 is neither a branch nor a tag:

Failed to create archive of upstream repository at 'https://github.com/allenh1/p2os.git'
'1.0.0' is not a tag in the upstream repository...
'1.0.0' is not a branch in the upstream repository...

Now for best practice you should have a branch called master, or groovy-devel, and/or hydro-devel and so on... This is where you do your work, fix bugs, and add features... When you are ready to release a version from that branch, then you create a tag which is exactly that version, e.g. 1.0.0. With git you can just do git tag 1.0.0 on the branch you are releasing from.

With catkin packages, you can use the catkin_prepare_release script to have it update the version in your package.xml, commit that change, tag your repository and push the results. This script helps automate the process and produces a consistent and conventional tagging scheme, and I highly recommend using it. (it is included with catkin)

I just needed to add a new branch with the name '1.0.0' to my repo... All good.

That will certainly work, bloom is flexible on that, but I will post an answer to this in a bit which points out some better practices which you can use in the future.
