Thanks to everybody that joined on Monday and that have submitted issues and PRs on GitHub.
Looking at the calendar I will need to skip the meeting in 2 weeks due to a personal conflict. Coincidentally it is during the week of the Yocto Summit.
Our next meeting of the ROS OpenEmbedded Working Group will be in 4 weeks:
Date/Time : Monday, December 11, 2023 @ 3pm UTC, (5pm CET / 11am ET / 8am PT)

We need to drop meta-python2 as a requirement. It will NOT be supported moving forward and should be considered DEAD after kirkstone. We have had more than 10 years warning. Any further support is just asking for vulnerabilities and security risks.
This means meta-ros-python2 and meta-ros1-melodic should be dropped (including from langdale, mickledore and nanbield).
https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/updates/38574/
meta-ros1-melodic is also still using DEPRECATED distutils-common-base.bbclass:

Let us send this old friend off to pasture.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for identifying this. I hope this will be an easy change to make as Melodic went end of life last June. I have created a bug to track this here: Remove meta-python2 as a dependency · Issue #1076 · ros/meta-ros (github.com)
Regards,
Rob
