[Fedora Robotics] Welcome to the world of robotics in Fedora
Hi Jeff and Arindam.
As you see the mailing list has been created and we can start
discussing! Here are the first notes I'd like to share.
I could not resist and gave packaging Player a try. It's not done yet
but I hope to have something this weekend but there is another
appointment and thus I don't know for sure. Additionally there was an
F-9 installation and new stuff to play with slowing me down a bit :-)
Arindam, what's your progress on Player?
I've talked to the guy who used Player/Gazebo in our project: the
problem that he faced was, that when adding a new sensor model, it would
only be compiled if it was used in another model. Seems to be a buildsys
related issue that has to be re-evaluated.
We should have a look anyway about proper ways to extend the base
functionality of Gazebo and if this can be done without using the source
of Gazebo. All that should be necessary is a yet-to-be-defined -devel
package. It should also provide some well-known paths where to put
custom code, like /usr/lib{,64}/gazebo/... and ~/.gazebo/... This may
need some tweaking but I don't know. Jeff, this would be something you
intern could look into, right?
Regards from Aachen,
Tim
