Hey,

I'm new to ROS, so don't be mad :-)

I want to install the velodyne_driver(actually the whole velodyne related stuff), and my best guess was, that this command would do that:

rosinstall $ROS_WORKSPACE http://utexas-art-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/stacks/velodyne/velodyne_driver

This is the error I get:

ERROR in config: Invalid multiproject yaml format in [http://utexas-art-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/stacks/velodyne/velodyne_driver]: while scanning a simple key in "<file>", line 2, column 1 could not found expected ':' in "<file>", line 3, column 40

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 ROS: Fuerte

For Ubuntu 12.04 Fuerte, there is a binary package already available:

sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-velodyne

For building the latest trunk from source, I recommend rosws:

roslocate info velodyne | rosws merge -

As always, use the trunk at your own risk. It is pretty stable right now. In fact, there is one bug fix there that is not yet released (but coming soon).

The rosinstall seems to be here: http://utexas-art-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rosinstall/utexas-art.rosinstall

That works, but checks out several other large stacks that many people will not need. I will create a velodyne-only rosinstall file in that same directory for this purpose.
