This is a fork of zootboy's fork of hauptmech's fork of moesenle's very nice arch-ros-stacks.

I am maintaining Hydro/Indigo packages for Arch Linux. Please e-mail me with any suggestions, comments or package requests:

If you want to contribute, simply fork this repository, create or update some packages, and make a pull request afterwards.

The script that automates most of the work is import_catkin_packages.py available in dependencies/ros-build-tools. To list its options:

$ python3 import_catkin_packages.py --help

To list all available packages:

$ python3 import_catkin_packages.py --distro=hydro --list | less

You can also provide the output directory when listing packages, in order to see the ones that have not been generated yet:

$ python3 import_catkin_packages.py --distro=hydro --output-directory=/path/to/arch-ros-stacks/hydro --list | less

To add a new official package called package_foo recursively:

$ python3 import_catkin_packages.py --distro=hydro --output-directory=/path/to/arch-ros-stacks/hydro -r package_foo

To simply update package_foo:

$ python3 import_catkin_packages.py --distro=hydro --output-directory=/path/to/arch-ros-stacks/hydro -u package_foo

To recursively "force update" package_foo:

$ python3 import_catkin_packages.py --distro=hydro --output-directory=/path/to/arch-ros-stacks/hydro -rfu package_foo

Note that the default behavior is to fetch release information from the official rosdistro distribution.yaml.
