Revision history [back]

Currently, you have to build gmapping from source, as it is not release yet (see melodic release page).

This actually goes for a lot of packages, e.g. the ROS navigation is not yet released to melodic. For so long you have to clone from source.

Alternative would be to switch back to an older distro, e.g. ROS kinectic on Ubuntu 16.04 (also an LTS), until the releases you require have happened.
