Binaries should include also external sensors if integrated in the xacro

[liesrock]

We should find a way to avoid this on the installed binaries, or require to install the requested dependency:

what do you think?

[aled96]

Is it possible to install automatically also the dependencies, given the repositories ?

Because of course we can copy them in our package, but it would not be the ideal solution.

[liesrock]

Yes we can add the dependency: which package would we need as a binary?

[aled96]

The dependencies should be the following:

• Realsense gazebo plugin: https://github.com/m-tartari/realsense_gazebo_plugin
• Realsense descriptions: https://github.com/m-tartari/realsense_gazebo_description (I think I am using change_topic_ns branch)
• Velodyne: https://bitbucket.org/DataspeedInc/velodyne_simulator/src/master/

[liesrock]

Sorry I did not explain myself: these are the sources and I already checked.

Given the fact we are installing a binary version of our robot, do you know how to install the above packages as binaries?

e.g. apt install …

[alaurenzi]

@aled96 note that we are using forks on advrhumanoids for @m-tartari 's repos

[aled96]

Ahh sorry !

I know that there are these, but I have not checked if the versions are the same or if there can be some problems

• sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-velodyne-description
• sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-realsense2-description

@aled96 note that we are using forks on advrhumanoids for @m-tartari 's repos

Ah great, I didn't know that, thanks !

[liesrock]

Ok, let's just check if the version are ok when you find the time: in case you give me the ok I will try to find a way to include the dependecies.
