Re: [Fedora-packaging] Using SCLs for ROS releases vs simply dumping them into /opt/ros/$ros-release

This is what we were working on till now. We picked ros-groovy as the release we wanted to provide in Fedora and were packing it up with various patches to make it install to /usr. However, at the time we made this decision, SCLs weren't much in the picture and neither was the Fedora.next system where we could have "rings" of application systems. There wasn't anything else that could be done really. > If the goal is to have parallel installed same versions then using > scls may be the way to go. (But do note that there is a fair bit of > overhead in terms of packaging to do this... but some portion of the > effort carries over to future parallel versions. Ideally, this is what we'd like to do, to be able to provide users with all releases of ROS. For example, even at the lab I work in, some people use ros-fuerte, some use ros-groovy (they have good support for the PR2 robot) and some have already moved on to ros-hydro. ROS upstream intentionally choose to install packages into /opt/ so that users (most of which are researchers) could run multiple releases in parallel. I do understand that there's an overhead in maintaining multiple releases. It's why we had chosen to pack up only one ROS release for Fedora. However, with bloom generating spec files for us, this would hopefully be manageable. If we don't have to modify upstream build files to install to /usr, the work is *considerably* lessened too. (I'd expect to have more people helping us too, since it's less work to package stuff up if it's going into /opt straight away.) Upstream recently informed me: - With respect to the SCLs OSRF is now a registered LSB provider for "ros" http://www.lanana.org/lsbreg/providers/providers.txt I think SCLs are the way to go. ROS fits in perfectly here. https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/pull/228 -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!

Using SCLs for ROS releases vs simply dumping them into /opt/ros/$ros-release
by Ankur Sinha 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Hi, Bloom, the ROS generator system has recently gotten support to generate rpms[1]. At the moment, the author is simply putting releases into /opt/ros/$ros-release and isn't making use of SCLs. Is this OK, or should they use SCLs? As you'll see from the ticket, I've already pointed him to SCLs, but considering that he's already using /opt/ros/$ros-release, and not the system directories, I'm wondering how using SCLs would be any different?

jquery bundling for new packages
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

TIL that there are around a thousand packages in Fedora that include a file named jquery.js... [1] Anyway it is good to see efforts to tackle these kinds of problems with the Javascript and Web Assets Guidelines. :) I want to ask if the packaging of grunt and jquery blocks current package reviews of packages that bundle jquery.js? Or can they proceed for now until jquery is actually packaged in Fedora? Jens ps It is going to be a long cleanup process to fix all those packages with bundled files.
