Differences between source melodic-devel branch and debian package in Ubuntu18.04(ros-melodic)

[fherreroc]

• OS and Version: Ubuntu 18.04
• ROS Version: Melodic
• Comparing Source and Official repository
• Versions:
  • Repository 1.5.2-0bionic.20210505.053040
  • Source: melodic-devel branch

BUG description Comparing source and debian versions, both package.xml say version is 1.5.2, but files differ.

For example, in the source version, launch file velodyne_pointcloud/launch/VLP16_points.launch has the "organize_cloud" argument, but in the debian package it doesn't. Same happens with other arguments and files.

To Reproduce #Install/clone both version and compare files. sudo apt install ros-melodic-velodyne git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/velodyne.git git checkout melodic-devel cd velodyne #for exmaple, velodyne_pointcloud launchs diff velodyne_pointcloud/launch /opt/ros/melodic/share/velodyne_pointcloud/launch
