[Rock-dev] Using a specific task deployment in a composition (Roby)

[Janosch Machowinski]

Hi Chris,
why do you actually need to nail a task to a
deployments ? If it is only about the configuration,
you can do this like this :
add(Cmp::DualSonar.use('sonar' => 
SonarTritech::Micron.with_conf(''default', 'foo'), 'sonar_rear' => 
SonarTritech::Micron.with_conf(''default', 'rear')))
