refactoring and preparing release

[marc-hanheide]

This repository needs a little restructuring according to the plans outlined in https://github.com/strands-project/strands_management/wiki/software-distribution

The idea is that it is pure configuration repository with launch files and parameter files that is specific to the scitos robot. So, it should only contain parameters and launch files for move_base on scitos, everyting else (src, and 3D stuff) to be moved to new repo strands_movebase without scitos prefix (use strands only if needed).

Once this is complete, the repository's dependencies should be checked and it should be released as outlined in https://github.com/strands-project/strands_management/wiki/STRANDS-release-procedures

So configuration files and launch files for 3d move_base should also go in the strands_movebase repo? Or should scitos_2d_navigation depend on strands_movebase? Also, I think it looks good to put the calibrate_chest in the strands_movebase repo. But the chest_calibration_publisher should always be run at robot startup (otherwise we don't have a valid tf) so scitos.launch would still have to include it.

[marc-hanheide]

I think the plan is that scitos_2d_navigation is only about the parameters for having a 2D navigation without any Kinect etc. So, also the launch file including the chest_calibration_publisher should go into strands_movebase. This one should in @hawesie and my view only have stuff in it to run move_base on a scitos robot. The other stuff are our own extensions if that makes sense?

[nilsbore]

Yeah, I think it does, thanks for clarifying.

@hawesie , @marc-hanheide Could one of you guys create the repo and I'll do it in the next few days.

[marc-hanheide]

done: https://github.com/strands-project/strands_movebase

you're also a member with write access, @nilsbore

[nilsbore]

Thanks!

Are we still supposed to work on the hydro-devel branch?

[marc-hanheide]

I'd say so, yes!

[marc-hanheide]

I have already entered this repo into the integration server, but not released anything (obviously). Most importantly, this package doesn't install anything yet. the install targets in CMakeLists.txt need to be filled properly.

[marc-hanheide]

I should add that the package builds fine on the integration server, so all dependencies are correctly resolved. Well done!

@marc-hanheide Close this?

[marc-hanheide]
