Re: ROS for Windows - Could NuGet packet manager be used?

[Daniel Stonier]

Hi Henrik,

I think I remember reading about nuget in its infancy some years ago - it looks like it might be viable if we can get some time to invest in it, or if someone else wants to try. I hadn't realised it had come so far.

I'm cc'ing this to the win-ros list as well so I can archive this information somewhere (hope you don't mind) and also just in case someone else might be interested in setting up some of the winros packages and rosdeps this way.

Thanks for the links!
Daniel.

Hi

 

I read your presentation on ROS for Windows and think it's great that you are porting functionality over to the Windows platform.

 

I haven't used ROS and I have no experience in programming on Linux, but our organization works a lot on robotics and vision, and we have been following the activity around ROS for some time. The benefits of integrating more of our work into the ROS framework seems more and more appealing, but since we are pretty heavy on Windows development a total switch to Linux does not seem very likely at least not in the near future. 

 

Anyhow, one thing I was wondering about and wanted to tip you of is NuGet (https://www.nuget.org/). Can that be something that can work similar as rosdep/packet manager on Windows? I do think that in order to get Windows devs to fully use ROS it should be integrated somehow into Visual Studio, and NuGet could possibly help to make that easier? (I have to admit I don't know anything about how rosdep or Linux packet managers work, so this might be a shot in the blind, but thought I should mention it anyways...)

Thank you and keep up the good work!
