Rosdep 0.15.1
by Scott K Logan 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

There was an issue with some hard-coded URLs in rosdep, and it caused `rosdep update` to break everywhere. A fix has been merged and released: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosdep/pull/663 I just published the updated package for f29, but given the severity of the breakage, it would be nice to push it early if we can get the karma. Folks - if you have some spare cycles and are running f29, it would be great if you could test this change and provide feedback: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-0eabd692fd The update hasn't made it to the testing repository yet, but once it does, you can use Fedora Easy Karma to submit your results: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Easy_Karma Thanks! --scott

Orphaning ROS packages
by Rich Mattes 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hi, A while ago I set forth trying to package the come components of the Robot Operating System for use in fedora[1]. It never got to a point where the effort was usable, and I don't have the time to advance the effort anymore, so I'm orphaning the following packages: catkin python-gencpp python-genlisp python-genmsg python-genpy rospack ros-release Thanks, Rich [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Robotics/ROS_Packaging

Status update and other info
by Ankur Sinha 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hi! There are one or two packages that need building for rawhide or they risk being orphaned. Could we please look into them? I'm not a maintainer for python-vcstools[1], so I can't fix it, for example. I'm co-maintainer on a few robotics packages but I'm not doing any robotics research any more---I've moved to neuroscience---trying to get NeuroFedora[2] to take off as a Fedora Lab. Would it be OK if I orphaned the robotics packages? I can hold on to them if there aren't any other active maintainers, of course. On a more general note, I was wondering if it made sense for all the research related SIGs to share maintenance of common packages under the Sci-tech SIG[3]. I haven't spoken to the ML or Astro people yet about this, though.

Talking points
by Alessio Ciregia 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello. Please give me some advice. Let's say I'm part of a Linux User Group. Let's say we are thinking to organize an Arduino Day. Let's suppose I would like to "advertise" Fedora in this context. Please take into account that more than building some projects with Arduino, I'm not a robotics expert, at all. What are the possible talking points about Fedora Robotics Spin in an event like that? Thanks, A.

Fedora Robotics SIG Hackathon
by Rich Mattes 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hi all, I would like to gauge the interest in holding a Fedora Robotics SIG Hackathon in the near future. The idea would be to get together on IRC on a Saturday or Sunday and tackle some of the outstanding bugs tagged with the Robotics SIG tracker on bugzilla. This could include package reviews, pending updates, and fixes to the packages we maintain. Let me know if that's something you're interested in, and we can try to plan on a good day to hold it. Thanks, Rich

ROS packages
by Till Hofmann 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Hi all, I'm currently working on packaging the whole ROS stack by automatically generating SPEC files with the help of the rosinstall_generator. I think the project is far enough to be shared on this list, but it is still work in progress. The SPEC files are generated with a python script. You can check it out here: https://pagure.io/ros I've created a COPR for ROS Kinetic that contains all packages from desktop_full and move_base for F24+ (currently only for x86_64): https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/thofmann/ros/ The scripts should also work for ROS Lunar (and possibly other releases), but I've only tested Kinetic so far. I decided to package each ROS package into a separate Fedora package, because imho that's the best mapping from ROS to Fedora: Each package has its own sources, different dependencies, and some packages require different build arguments. This way, it's also much easier to add new (ROS) packages to Fedora. I picked /usr/lib64/ros as ROS_ROOT. Currently, this does not allow having two separate ROS installations. But moving it to e.g., /usr/lib64/ros/kinetic should be as simple as adapting the template file. Is that something we would want to have? There are still some remaining tasks on my list: - Provides: for ros-$pkgname (currently, the packages are all called ros-kinetic-$pkgname) - Clean up dependencies, many packages have explicit runtime dependencies that they don't need because they are automatic dependencies on the sonames. Some packages also have devel packages as runtime dependency, which is of course incorrect. - Splitting devel packages. I'm not sure how useful this would be, but I think it is required by the packaging guidelines. - I thought about adding the ROS lib dir to /etc/ld.so.conf.d, but I'm not sure whether this is a good idea because most libraries have unversioned sonames. On the other hand, all the packages currently Provide: their (unversioned) libraries, which may have unexpected effects, e.g., a program linking (and requiring) a ros lib without sourcing the ROS environment. - As it is, the ROS packages have a lot of bundled third-party libraries. This may require some work to separate if at all possible. - I haven't really checked any existing Fedora ROS packages other than catkin_pkg. In the long run, it would be awesome to get those packages into Fedora (one-by-one), maybe even with different modules for the different ROS versions - modularity could be very useful here! In the meantime, I'd appreciate any feedback, test results, RFEs, package requests, etc. The best place for this would be the repository: https://pagure.io/ros/issues We (team Carologistics, RCLL) have successfully tested some of those packages on Fedora 25 at the last RoboCup in Japan, but of course more tests would be nice, as we only use a few packages. Please let me know what you think! Kind regards, Till

New package for review
by Cheng Ye 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi all, I have packaged CMU IPC library and it is waiting for review. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1481237 This library have a lisp interface that wasn't packaged, as I know nothing about common lisp ( In fact, this is the first time I heard about lisp). I am absolutely new to robotics, so I am not confident in maintaining this package. It could be better If someone who have prior experience with this software on other platform can maintain this package, but I am more than happy to comaintain this package. Regards, Ye Cheng

intention to unretire log4cxx
by Till Hofmann 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Hi all, I intend to unretire log4cxx, which was retired because it was orphaned for too long. Among others, log4cxx is used by the Robot Operating System ROS [1] and thus is quite important for robotics applications in Fedora. I've updated the spec file to build with GCC6, moved the documentation to a noarch subpackage, and I did some general spec cleanup. I've submitted a review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1408428 Kind regards, Till [1] http://www.ros.org/

Upgrade to 1.0.37 for Jade
by Tim Niemueller 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hi Rich and all. Today I built ROS Jade on F22. That parts works fine. But starting roscore gives: AttributeError: 'RosPack' object has no attribute 'get_custom_cache'. Turns out this has been added in 1.0.37. Any objections to upgrading the package (in F22 and later)? Btw, very nice work on all the ROS base packages being present in Fedora! Has anyone made attempts to package ROS packages at large? Regards from Aachen, Tim
