ROS2 Packager

This is a packaging tool for ROS2 that accepts arbitrary ROS2 packages and outputs a debian .deb archive for each package.

Background

The ROS2 Packager is a Docker project for compiling ROS2 nodes and generating debian .deb APT packages for the nodes.

Prerequisites

The following tools are required to use the ROS2 Packager:

• GNU Make
• Docker

Getting Started: Building the demo hello world package

1. Clone the repository
2. invoke make:

make

This will build the build the base docker context/images, compile the ros2_hello_world ROS package, package the artifacts into a debian package management system "APT" package for x86_64 and arm64 architectures. The output will be in ./build

Getting Started: Building custom packages

1. Clone the project
2. Place ROS packages that you wish to generate .deb archives/packages for in src
3. Add a requirements.system file to the package directory (see: requirements.system for an example).
4. invoke make on the project:

make
