ConfusionTechnologies' ROS Package Index

To browse the ROS Main Index, go to https://index.ros.org/ (note: pip packages are considered system dependencies).

This fork of rosdistro is ConfusionTechnologies' 3rd-party ROS Package Index. It faciliates testing packages we have not published by allowing us to use the normal rosdep method instead of workarounds to install them. It also allows adding rosdep rules, which allows using pip packages not present in the main index yet (until pull requests to add said rosdep rules to the main index are accepted).

Take note of the below two branches, which are also write-protected:

• main: ConfusionTechnologies' ROS Package Index
• upstream: Mirror of the upstream ROS Main Package Index

See https://github.com/ros/rosdistro#readme for the original README.

Using

See http://docs.ros.org/en/independent/api/rosdep/html/contributing_rules.html#point-your-sources-list-d-at-your-forked-repository. Note to put the correct branch.

Contributing

Always name your branch <username>/<description>. For example, interpause/add-py3-aiortc-pip.

Adding pip Dependencies

Branches should be based on upstream, not main! This is to facilitate submitting such pip dependencies to the main index. See http://docs.ros.org/en/independent/api/rosdep/html/contributing_rules.html.

Adding Packages

TBD

Publishing Packages

Good luck. The foundational packages don't follow their naming guidelines. Otherwise, refer to ROS' contribution guide.
