Ubuntu18.04解决rosdep update 超时问题

运行rosdep update时报错：ERROR : error loading sources list :(‘The read operation timed out’,)

1.打开如下文件

sudo vim /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list

修改list文件内容如下：

# os-specific listings first
yaml https://ghproxy.com/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml osx
 
# generic
yaml https://ghproxy.com/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/base.yaml
yaml https://ghproxy.com/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/python.yaml
yaml https://ghproxy.com/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/ruby.yaml
gbpdistro https://ghproxy.com/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte
 
# newer distributions (Groovy, Hydro, ...) must not be listed anymore, they are being fetched from the rosdistro index.yaml instead

再次运行rosdep update，报错如下

2.下载rosdistro到本地

git clone https://github.com/ros/rosdistro.git

打开如下位置的__init__.py文件

cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosdistro
sudo gedit __init__.py

将原来文件中的 DEFAULT_INDEX_URL = ‘https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/index-v4.yaml’ 替换成 DEFAULT_INDEX_URL = 'file:///home/yx/rosdistro/index-v4.yaml'
替换后的/home/yx 即为第一步clone内容的存放地址,其中yx为用户名。

再次执行rosdep update，成功。
