Preparing for Kinetic Sync 2018-10-26

[tfoote]

Kinetic Maintainers,

We’re getting ready for another Kinetic sync. It looks like we currently have two issues causing 92 regressions and with 150 changed packages

They’ve been ticketed at

• https://github.com/ros-planning/moveit/issues/1154
• https://github.com/roboception/rc_visard_ros/issues/9

@flixr @130s FYI

I’m hoping to get a new release of them before Monday in which case we’ll have an opportunity to sync with no regressions.

Otherwise I plan to hold new releases and make the sync on Monday.

Please reply here if there are any other issues that should be considered.

Thanks for the quick turnaround of @flixr and @130s we’ve resolved most of the regressions.

However there’s one more regression to be fixed in moveit that’s pending so I expect the sync to happen tomorrow.

The sync is out:

New Packages for Kinetic 2018-10-30

We’re happy to announce 16 new packages and 73 updated packages for Kinetic. Of note there’s a rollback of ros-kinetic-leap-motion from 0.0.14 to 0.0.11. This rollback was due to the new version not building on most platforms. However it did build on xenial amd64 and as such if you’ve already installed 0.0.14 if you want to downgrade you will need to manually uninstall 0.0.14 and then reinstall the package. All other platforms the 0.0.14 package did not propagate and so is not an issue. Thank …

Thanks to everyone who helped get it out!
