Hello, I am quite new to ROS. I have the following package: ethzasl_icp_mapping which is available for hydro but not for indigo. How can I install this package with indigo? Thanks in advance.

There is a indigo-devel version available on the github, have you tried using this ?

Just git clone it in you catkin workspace and then use git checkout to switch to the hydro-devel branch

Thanks for the reply. So, in simple terms, I need to get the indigo devel branch and get it to my catkin workspace folder and execute catkin_make? I don't understand why we need to switch to hydro-devel branch.

indigo develstand for indigo-development and is the branch that the developer tested on indigo. If you don't switch to it, it might work, but if it doesn't, then it's not a bug. It's the wrong branch. Otherwise, in simple term, yes you're right :)

Thank You so much. But just to be clear the last part of the answer should be git checkout to switch to the the indigo-devel branch, right?

skr_robo ( 2016-06-08 11:05:00 -0600 )edit

it's git checkout and then the name of branch. If you press tab, it should auto-complete

Thank you for the help.

If it answered your problem, could you mark it has accepted so future people with the same question will know that there is an answer :) ?

Maya ( 2016-06-13 17:02:22 -0600 )edit

Yes. I will. But I would like to mention that I haven't actually tried this one.
