Official method to build ros-kinetic-*realsense*.deb file?

[byhang]

Dear Intel,
Is there a official method to build ros-kinetic-realsense**.deb** file?
I wanna build kinetic librealsense2-2.50.0 and realsense-2.3.2 from source code in Ubuntu16，but no good idea.

Hi @byhang Does using the command below to install librealsense SDK 2.50.0 and ROS1 wrapper 2.3.2 together at the same time from Debian packages work for you, please?

sudo apt-get install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-realsense2-camera

$ROS_DISTRO should enable the installation process to detect that you are using ROS Kinetic and install the appropriate packages.

@MartyG-RealSense
You know, The latest official version is realsense-ros-2.3.0 and librealsense2-2.45.0 in kinetic，I need newer.
How to build deb in the official way?

@byhang I see that you raised this question a couple of weeks ago at #2394 (comment) and IntelRealSense/librealsense#10624 (comment)

It reminded me that ROS Kinetic was made End of Life (EOL) by ROS around the time of wrapper 2.3.0.

You should still be able to build the 2.3.2 wrapper for Kinetic from source code using the Method 2 instructions of the ROS wrapper.

what is 1 of 1focal in ros-noetic-librealsense2_2.50.0-1focal.20211115.134455_amd64.deb mean?

The link below indicates that the ' - ' number after the librealsense version number (such as 2.50.0 -1) is a way of distinguishing between old and new versions of the packages.

Xenial and Focal are names of Ubuntu versions.

Xenial: 16.04
Bionic: 18.04
Focal: 20.04.
Hirsute: 21.04
Jammy: 22.04
