r2ppa

Welcome to r2ppa! This is an APT repository that I’ve put together to host and distribute ROS 2 packages I develop over time. My goal is to simplify the installation process for my pre-built packages, making it easier for me to integrate them into my projects.

What is r2ppa?

r2ppa is an APT repository hosted on GitHub Pages. While it’s not a Personal Package Archive (PPA) in the traditional sense, it provides similar functionality for anyone, offering a central spot for my packages.

Features

• Easy Installation: Quickly install my ROS 2 packages via APT.
• Hosted on GitHub Pages: Highly reliable as it is of GitHub's infrastructure.
• Integrated CI/CD: Managed with Earthly for continuous integration and delivery, ensuring packages are always up to date.
• Web Search Interface: Easily browse and search through available packages at https://rishikesavanramesh.github.io/R2PPA.

How to Use

Step 1: Add the Repository

To add the r2ppa repository to your APT sources list, run the following command:

sudo wget -O - https://rishikesavanramesh.github.io/R2PPA/public.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/r2ppa-repo.gpg
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/r2ppa-repo.gpg] https://rishikesavanramesh.github.io/R2PPA/r2ppa/apt-repo stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/r2ppa-repo.list
sudo apt update

Step 2: Update APT

After adding the repository, update your package list:

sudo apt update

Step 3: Install packages

You can now install my ROS 2 packages using:

sudo apt install <package-name>

Just replace <package-name> with the name of the package you want to install.

Step 4: Remove the Repository (if needed)

If you wish to remove the repository, delete the .list file:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/r2ppa-repo.list
