Notes

  • Grey’s PR for execution structure is ready to be reviewed
  • Nathan paused actions work because of changes to executor API changes
  • Scott Logan was working on a standalone package to “compose” a bunch of packages locally
    • Has an executable you can run which searches system paths to find crates available locally
    • Somewhat stuck on circular dependencies, but doesn’t block the path to shipping debians
    • Will begin testing with buildfarm packages
  • Esteve asked Scott about submitting the rosidl_generator_rs to the build farm for humble and jazzy
    • Scott mentioned this decision will likely be sent to the respective “ROS Boss” due to its insertion in the critical path
    • But endorsed that it can be added to rolling to gather data
  • Esteve mentioned that the generated rust code has a compile time dependency on rosidl_runtime_rs
    • Grey emphasized that this dependency would only be pulled in during a build that explicitly includes the generated rust code
  • Esteve mentioned getting the generator upstream would help us remove some of these vendored packages
  • FOSDEM presentation from Julia went well, the room was packed
  • Sam Presentation
  • Kimberly asked if anyone has run things on Windows
    • Esteve mentioned a while ago we had an attempt to add windows to the CI
    • Scott mentioned that colcon-cargo tests run on windows regularly
    • Grey mentioned that this should be straight forward as long as the build script can find rclrs
