Is there a way to add hyperlinks to package home pages that would provide some summary what that package is about?
Now I type google search (example: bus-server), go through a few pages that are unrelated, like general ROS “package” installation, and finally hit something usable after 6 links that the search returned. It can be easier than that.

If others already know a short way to find information, please share.

Cheers

@tfoote was bus_server supposed to make it into this sync? I removed it from the kinetic rosdistro after the rename to loki_base_node.

EDIT: Looks like I forgot to rename the dependency in loki_bringup, ran a new release. Is there anything else needed to ensure proper deletion?

4

I totally agree with @boltrobotics, I also searched on Google for several packages without direct success.

5

The default location to find a package is on the ROS wiki with the package name. So for package cost_map which is packaged into the debian package ros-kinetic-cost-map see http://wiki.ros.org/cost_map

I opened a PR to embed the declared homepage as a link in the summary last week. We are targeting to roll it out before the next sync.

WRT to bus_server as @rohbotics alluded, that was a package released temporarily but after review was renamed to loki_base_node which is why you can’t find any documentation. There’s an outstanding ticket to automatically clear removed packages in this situation but we haven’t had time to implement it.

Yes, I know, but it is not always available. A fallback to the Github repo would be nice too.

Very good news, thanks!

An alternative is to check the status pages automatically generated by the ROS buildfarm. They provide a complete list of all released packages including a link to the source repository as well as a link to the wiki page for each package if it exists.
example: amcl package
ROS packages for Kinetic - 2021-06-01 22:32:58 -0800 provides a link to the wiki page and the source repository

In the case of packages that don’t have a source of a doc entry (like loki_bringup) the status page provides only a link to the release repository used for rolling out the package.

On a related note, there’s an unmerged PR that aims to encourage package releasers to create pages on ROS wiki https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/15167 (I haven’t had time to make an improvement).

Oh, really interesting.
I did not know that page.
Thanks!
