opencv2 sources missing on code.ros.org?

Question

Hello,

I was trying to get the source for opencv2 from:

https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/vision_opencv/trunk/opencv2

but it seems to missing most of the files. The only files that appear at the above location are:

Makefile
conf.py
cvbridge_python.rst
flann.patch
index.rst
mainpage.dox
manifest.xml
opencv2-python-link.patch
pythontest.patch
rosdoc.yaml

I poked around some of the tags as well but they all end up with this kind of short file list. Has the source been moved somewhere? Or am I just missing something obvious.

Thanks!
patrick

Patrick,

Source for OpenCV library can be found here. What your link points to is the ROS wrapper which checks out the code from above location at build time.

A good first step when you find a package that doesn't contain what you expect is to check it's Makefile(s) and CMakeLists.txt. For example, you can see from the OpenCV Makefile that it is using the svn_checkout.mk script (which is documented on the wiki somewhere).
