Preparing for Melodic sync 2019-02-06

Packaging and Release Management Melodic
1

Melodic Maintainers,
Currently Melodic has no regressions and 82 packages ready to sync. I plan to hold new releases for Melodic starting tomorrow, Feb 7, with a sync early next week.

Please reply here if there are any outstanding issues I should know about before performing the sync.

There was a bug fixed in rosbash_params 1.0.2 regarding incorrect handling of arguments with whitespace ( https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/20206#issuecomment-461420930 ). This package doesn’t yet have any automated tests and it is quite a young package, so it probably won’t break anything.

It’s also never been released, so it can’t cause a regression for the sync (worst case, if the new build fails, it just won’t get synced). So I’ll merge https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/20206 .
