which ros2 distro do i need to run ros2/ros1_bridge tutorial
OS: Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) ROS1: Kinetic
Hi I'm wondering which distro of ROS2 do i need to download to run the ros1_bridge tutorial. I've read some of the answers from other questions on this site suggesting Bouncy, but Building ROS 2 on Linux page on ros.org suggesting to use crystal, then the Installing ROS2 via Debian Packages page say ROS 2 Ardent is for Ubuntu Xenial.
This is very confusing for newer programmers like me to follow. Thanks.
Xenial support (at least binaries) stopped with Ardent. Bouncy and Crystal should be buildable from source on Xenial. See also REP-2000: ROS 2.0 Target Platforms. Note the
