rosinstall fails when encountering kforge repos from generated .rosinstall file
When issuing the command:
rosinstall ~/Documents/ROS "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no"
I first get the error message:
Unable to download URL [http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no]: couldn't load config uri http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_r... ERROR: Bad remote rosinstall source: http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_r... This can be caused by empty or malformed remote rosinstall file.
However, I can view http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_r... in my web browser, and rosinstall actually creates the .rosinstall file in the correct directory.
When I issue the command: rosinstall ./ .rosinstall , rosinstall is able to checkout everything from code.ros.org , but throws an exception when it gets to the kforge geometry stack. Here's the error:
Installing https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/geometry geometry-1.4.2 to /home/dvenable/Documents/ROS/geometry abort: error: Connection timed out ERROR: Failed to install tree '/home/dvenable/Documents/ROS/geometry' Checkout of https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/geometry version geometry-1.4.2 into /home/dvenable/Documents/ROS/geometry failed.
However I am able to view the https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/geometry website.
Issuing a manual clone: hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/geometry geometry also fails with a "Connection timed out"
Any suggestions, or is kforge just down. Tried this on the same llaptop at work and at home, so I'm guessing it's either a connection error on their end, or something's just not configured correctly. I made sure to add all the deps on the wiki:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget python-setuptools mercurial
Thanks
