ROS 2 Crystal Clemmys call for testing and package releases

Packaging and Release Management Crystal
,
2

I just installed ROS 2 Crystal from sources on Ubuntu 18.04.

Everything went fine, but I would like to make a couple comments on the instructions:

  • In the setup_sources section link you should add the dependency on lsb-release.
    The first command would become:
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl gnupg2 lsb-release

  • In the Install development tools and Ros tools section link it looks like the pytest dependencies are needed only on Ubuntu 16.04. I’m on Ubuntu 18.04 and without them the build process prompted a lot of warnings about pytest missing and then failed while building the demos package.
