The graveyard is where code goes which is not maintained anymore but has information or code which may want to be recovered in the future.

Deletion Policies

  • A package has been determined to be deprecated.
    • If there is a functional replacement for that package which is as good or better:
      • delete the package
    • If there is not a functional replacement the code is not used, but might be useful at some point in the future:
      • Move it to the graveyard.

How to move to the graveyard

the graveyard is next to trunk at the root of the repository. For example to graveyard the package foo in the wg-ros-pkg repository, the invocation would be as follows:

svn mv https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/trunk/foo https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/graveyard

The easiest way to get the url for the package. Is to do roscd foo && svn info.
