ROS 2 docker images revamp, purging old images on 2018-08-06

Greetings ROS 2 users!

In an effort to improve consistency between ROS 1 and ROS 2 docker images, we now have ros_core, ros_base and desktop “metapackages” in ROS 2 (Bouncy and Ardent).

As a result the ROS 2 docker images are now named as follows:

  • osrf/ros2:ardent-ros-core
  • osrf/ros2:ardent-ros-base
  • osrf/ros2:ardent-desktop
  • osrf/ros2:bouncy-ros-core
  • osrf/ros2:bouncy-ros-base
  • osrf/ros2:bouncy-desktop

We are planning on purging the previous images on Monday 2018-08-06.
This will result in the following:

  • ROS 2 beta images (r2b2, r2b3) will not be available anymore
  • Ardent and Bouncy images will only be available with the new names listed above.

Full list of images that will be deleted:

ardent-basic
ardent-core
ardent-full
bouncy-basic
bouncy-full
bouncy-core
r2b3-ros1-bridge
r2b3-core
r2b2-ros1-bridge
r2b2-core
