Preparing for Melodic sync 2022-09-01

[clalancette]

Melodic currently has 0 regressions and 80 packages ready to sync.

I’m going to call a hold on Melodic as of today, September 1, and go ahead with a sync early next week.

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

Dear Chris,

• eigenpy 2.7.8 still poses issues: Revert eigenpy in Melodic to 2.7.8 by clalancette · Pull Request #34283 · ros/rosdistro · GitHub. I suggest to revert to 2.7.5 - the release version used in the previous sync.
• The releases of franka_ros and panda_moveit_config go hand-in-hand. Please consider merging the new release of panda_moveit_config as part of the upcoming sync. Otherwise, this package will be broken. Thanks.

I’m slightly confused here. I ended up reverting franka_ros back to version 0.9.0 for this upcoming sync since 0.9.1 was having problems building (see ROS packages for Melodic - 2023-07-05 12:28:04 -0800). So with that said, do we still need to update panda_moveit_config to 0.7.7? Or can we leave it at 0.7.6?

Sorry, I didn’t notice that you had to revert franka_ros as well. If the upcoming sync is on 0.9.0 we should stick with panda_moveit_config 0.7.6. Should I put the corresponding PR on hold?

No problem, I just wanted to double check.

About putting it on hold; it is currently on hold due to the sync freeze. But once the sync freeze ends early next week, it will likely be merged right away. If you don’t want that, then I’ll suggest closing that PR until the new version of franka_ros is re-released (and is actually building).

The sync is out.
