We’re in the “beta” phase of development for ROS 2 Kilted Kaiju! As such, there are now binary packages available for Ubuntu Noble and RHEL 9, and rosdistro is open for newly released packages for Kilted.
Testing the Kilted beta
Installation instructions have been published for Kilted here. The only notable deviation from these instructions is that binary packages for Kilted have not had the first “sync”, and are therefore only available in the testing repository.
The pre-release testing instructions describe how to enable the ros-testing repository so that you can install the ros-kilted-* packages.
For those using the comprehensive archive for installation or are building from source, we’ve also provided a pre-release tag which includes fresh binary builds of the ROS 2 Kilted Beta.
If you’re having trouble or think you’ve discovered a bug, please check the open issues and PRs on the related repository, discuss the issue in this thread, and open a new issue as appropriate. We’ll triage the issue or PR and decide if it should be merged prior to release or backported for a subsequent patch release of Kilted.
Releasing your packages
If you maintain a package you would like to release in ROS 2 Kilted Kaiju we encourage you to do so by following the guide to releasing a ROS 2 package with bloom .
Reminder that the tutorial party is starting 2025-05-01T07:00:00Z. You can find all the details in this post.
Thanks!
The ROS 2 Team
