RFI: Would you use Nav2 Rolling binaries?

Navigation Stack

Howdy,

Its your Friendly Neighborhood Navigator here, our good friend @tnajjar has given me my “annual reminder” that folks want Nav2 binaries on Rolling. I’ve resisted for years to save my inbox but now that Open Navigation is leading the charge, I suppose I don’t have any more excuses I can hide behind.

So, please let me know: Would you actively use Nav2 Rolling Binaries as my last ditch effort to wiggle my way out of it :laughing:

  • Yes
  • No
  • Maybe

If we get enough “Yes” then I’ll go ahead and do it. God save my inbox when anything goes wrong with 37 packages.

Happy rolling,

Steve

I voted yes but I’m equally happy with a regularly built rolling docker image with Nav2 built from source. You can consider adding this as an option in the poll.

P.S: this would still result in the same spam of emails as binaries right? The docker build would fail for mostly the same reasons the binaries fail right?

I had the same idea, but I couldn’t edit the poll after posting it for 5 minutes :smiling_face_with_tear:

Then everyone who wants to vote for the docker option, like my first message instead :slightly_smiling_face:

By the way, there are now docker containers released and supported: GitHub - ros-navigation/nav2_docker: Nav2 distributed docker containers for active ROS 2 distributions for development and deployment

We do nightly for Humble, Jazzy, Rolling and release versioned tags when we run syncs that are stable and only rebuilt when a new release is cut in a distribution. So you can get a container eq. to the current binaries or a nightly build!
