Track packages that are released in ROS build farm b... | RoboStack/robostack.github.io

The ROS Debian binary packages that are released via Bloom are essentially a distribution of software that builds on top of another distribution of software (the base Debian/Ubuntu repositories). This relation is similar to the one that in the conda world exists between conda-forge and bioconda channels, and in a sense is the same relation that we would like to create between conda-forge and robostack.

Over the time some packages that we not ROS-specific (i.e. they did not depend on the ROS communication middleware) were released with Bloom for several reasons. The major reason is that it was much faster and easier to get a package published via Bloom rather then by going through the actual Debian/Ubuntu packaging process, while in some other cases a package was indeed available in Debian/Ubuntu repos, but the version available in the repos was not recent enough, and it was not possible to update it due to Debian policies for updates in already released distros.

In the case of robostack, given that getting new packages in conda-forge is relatively easy and fast, and the same holds for updating the version of existing packages, I think it make sense to avoid to re-build packages that are or should be in conda-forge even if they are release in bloom/rosdistro, but rather we should have some systematic way to skip them and install the conda-forge version instead. I am not sure what is the proper way of doing so, but for the time being I opened this issue to track the occurrences of this pattern that I spot.

Package repo	It is already in conda-forge?	rosdistro package name	Does the rosdistro package also adds some files?	Related issue(s)
https://github.com/pybind/pybind11	https://github.com/conda-forge/pybind11-feedstock	`pybind11_catkin` in ROS1, `pybind11_vendor` in ROS2	Yes	https://github.com/RoboStack/ros-noetic/issues/19
https://github.com/OctoMap/octomap	https://github.com/conda-forge/octomap-feedstock	`octomap`	No	https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues/26527

https://github.com/oxfordcontrol/osqp	Soon, https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/13587	`osqp_vendor`	Yes, the CMake config files for the `osqp_vendor` CMake package, and the `osqp_vendor-extras.cmake` file. See https://github.com/tier4/osqp_vendor
https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre	https://github.com/conda-forge/ogre-feedstock	`rviz_ogre_vendor`	Yes, it also installs the CMake config files for the `rviz_ogre_vendor` CMake files, and some additional related files. Furthermore, just on Windows the used ogre also statically links a locally built copy of freetype and zlib.
https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/eigenpy	Yes	`eigenpy`	No.
https://tvm.apache.org/	https://github.com/conda-forge/libtvm-feedstock	`tvm_vendor`	Yes, it even enables some options while compiling tvm, that are related to vulkan and spirv, that I am not sure if they are available in conda-forge.

Just for ROS2, there are a few more in https://github.com/ros2/?q=vendor .

Inizia dalla tabella dei pacchetti e dalle issue collegate di conda-forge, rosdistro e correlate; confronta quali pacchetti sono duplicati e se i pacchetti vendor aggiungono file. Il lavoro è completo quando il progetto dispone di un metodo documentato e sistematico per identificare i pacchetti che dovrebbero usare conda-forge invece di essere ricostruiti tramite Bloom.
