Library for retrieving information about catkin packages
acquired package info from repodata DB: repodata/f0b2606f1dc0294014b17bb8ea9231f0129611b4c9610b9db40f82da2b1f63da-primary.sqlite.bz2
HTML documentation for 'python-rosdistro'
The rosdistro tool allows you to get access to the full dependency tree and the version control system information of all packages and repositories. To increase performance, the rosdistro tool will automatically look for a cache file on your local disk. If no cache file is found locally, it will try to download the latest cache file from the server. The cache files are only used to improve performance, and are not needed to get correct results. rosdistro will automatically go to Github to find any dependencies that are not part of the cache file. Note that operation without a cache file can be very slow, depending on your own internet connection and the response times of Github. The rosdistro tool will always write the latest dependency information to a local cache file, to speed up performance for the next query.
The ROS packaging system simplifies development and distribution of code libraries. It enables you to easily specify dependencies between code libraries, easily interact with those libraries from the command-line, and release your code for others to use.
