How to upload catkin made package ros community?

I'm not sure why realsense2_camera does not exist on apt as ros-kinetic-realsense2-camera

I've downloaded the source from github a number of times and compiled it on an x64 (intel-atom) machine. Am I able to upload my compiled source to apt so that the rest of the community can have this pre-compiled code?

It's likely realsense2_camera has dependencies that have not been released or cannot be released as debians. If the buildfarm cannot install the dependencies realsense2_camera cannot be released through the ROS buildfarm.

Is this http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/ReleasingAPackage what you're looking for?

I assume that if this were possible Intel would already have done this. The RealSense cameras have quite a few 'strange' dependencies, so I wouldn't be surprised if the package actually can't be released through the buildfarm.

@gvdhoorn you're right. I've misinterpreted the question thinking he's looking for releasing his own ROS package (low level of caffeine in the system).
