This is the homepage of the Debian Robotics Project. The aim of this project is to build the needed packages to use a Debian box in a robotic environment.

The goal of this project is to provide packages of the main software used by the robotics community for a Debian distro. The list of packages may change during the time, by now, we are mainly concentrated in ROS and Orocos, with all the satellite programs.

To use the packages add this two lines to your sources.list:

Also, you should add our gpg key:

The Debian package version number is parsed from the top entry of debian/changelog, eg. mypackage (1.0-1.drp70+1) wheezy-robotics unstable; urgency=low. The `-1.drp70+1' is the debian release number. Subsequent releases have release numbers `-1.drp70+2', `-1.drp70+3' , `-1.drp70+4' etc.

From Wheezy the Debian Robotics Project (drp) adopt this nomenclature, using:

• a 0 before the .drp if there's no official package and if there is already an official package, for example with version `1.0-4', then use `1.0-4.drp70+11'.
• .drp70, where the 70 is the Debian release (Squeeze 6, Wheezy 7, ...)
• +1 the packaging number.
