Preparing for Melodic sync 2020-08-19

Packaging and Release Management Melodic
1

There are currently 134 regressions and 288 packages ready to sync.

It’s a bit unusual to call a sync hold with that many regressions, but I know that all of them are caused by just two packages: moveit_resources and jsk_3rdparty. I have revert PRs opened for both of them: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/26216 and https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/26237 . However, both maintainers are planning on doing new releases to fix those packages (thanks @k-okada and @rhaschke) .

With all of that being said, I plan to start holding releases today, August 19th, aiming for a sync at the end of the week. The only exception will be fixes for the above issues.

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

Looks like there is only one regression in ros_speech_recognition on ARM architectures.

@k-okada @furushchev Any ideas about how to fix it? If not, I think the intent is to do a sync about 24 hours from now regardless.

The sync is out! :tada:

@k-okada Unfortunately it looks like the fix for ros_speech_recognition on ARM will have to wait for the next sync; I started it yesterday evening before the new jsk_3rdparty rosdistro PR :frowning:

@sloretz: it’s been a while already again :slight_smile:

Would a new sync for Melodic be possible?
