ROS signing key migration guide

Not entirely true. AFAIK people were using ros2-testing repo for T&T party. I don’t think they will want to continue using that.


If anyone is interested into how to newly install ROS 2 on a fresh system, here’s the current guide: Ubuntu (deb packages) — ROS 2 Documentation: Kilted documentation .

@claraberendsen The tutorial currently points to https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ros/packages.ros.org/ros2/ubuntu/pool/main/r/ros-apt-source/ros2-apt-source_1.0.0~$(. /etc/os-release && echo $VERSION_CODENAME)_all.deb . This seems to be very unmaintainable (even now there has already been a version bump to 1.1.0 which hasn’t yet propagated into the docs page, so currently, the install instructions lead to a 404 link). Two questions:

  1. Why does it point to ftp.osuosl and not “directly” to packages.ros.org ?
  2. Would it be possible to provide versionless symlinks to the debs? This would really help automated workflows like Docker, Ansible etc.
