Taking hrpsys package as an example, as of today:

Nice debbuild page shows 0.0.1-6.
In the list of available package binaries at packages.ros.org, ros-groovy-hrpsys remains 0.0.1-1precise-20130823-1025-+0000 that looks outdated.

In addition, I found a package is missing; although openhrp3 looks built as 0.0.1-6 as well, it's not even listed in packages.ros.org.

I just guess it's related to the migration that happened soon after Aug. 23? Or am I missing something and are they actually built and available somewhere? Thanks!

packages.ros.org currently requires a manual sync for updating both shadow-fixed and public. It's migration is still ongoing. It should be resolved in the next few weeks, but until then they syncs will be slightly slower.

Thanks. Is Hydro in the same situation (ie. slower, manual sync) ?

All packages, until the hosting has finished migration.

Is this still the case? debbuild page is showing husky_* packages in shadow-fixed, but I can't apt-get them. Is there some way that the manual sync may be triggered?

I don't know if this is acceptable temporary workaround for the repository site maintainers. If it is not please remove this post.

Here's what I found inspired by my collaborator:

1 In your sources.list in your /etc/apt folder (the actual file may vary. In my case it's /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list), comment out all entry that uses packages.ros.org

2 Add these two lines:

deb http://50.28.27.175/repos/building precise main
deb-src http://50.28.27.175/repos/building precise main

For example, mine looks like this:

$ more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list
##deb <a href="http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu">http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu</a> precise main

# ROS Shadow-fixed repo
##deb <a href="http://packages.ros.org/ros-shadow-fixed/ubuntu">http://packages.ros.org/ros-shadow-fixed/ubuntu</a> precise main
##deb-src <a href="http://packages.ros.org/ros-shadow-fixed/ubuntu">http://packages.ros.org/ros-shadow-fixed/ubuntu</a> precise main
deb <a href="http://50.28.27.175/repos/building">http://50.28.27.175/repos/building</a> precise main
deb-src <a href="http://50.28.27.175/repos/building">http://50.28.27.175/repos/building</a> precise main

3 $ apt-get update and get what you need.

UPDATE) NOTE that this isn't shadow-fixed and is not stable as pointed out in the comment.

Attention: this is NOT shadow-fixed but the building repository you are accessing. The buildfarm directly adds new Debian packages into that repo and removes downstream packages before they get rebuilt. That means the state of this repo is in constant flux. You can not expect that all packages are even in that repo. Use that at your own risk. It currently works for you because no build is ongoing and you bypass the synchronization to OSU which is currently being worked on and not yet working correctly.

@Dirk thanks for a warning; yes we're using this address at our own risk and will stop using it as soon as we see the sync has finished.

Thanks again for posting this, Isaac. Until ros-shadow-fixed is being synced again regularly, it's very valuable to have this alternative method of testing new packages.
