ROS Melodic Packages Missing (Buildfarm Issue?)

asked 2018-08-14 15:54:03 -0500

So I am trying to install the following packages on a few systems with Melodic:

ros-melodoc-rosdoc-lite (wiki, bionic_jenkins_job, stretch_jenkins_job)
ros-melodoc-navigation (wiki, bionic_jenkins_job, stretch_jenkins_job)
ros-melodoc-map-server (wiki, bionic_jenkins_job, stretch_jenkins_job)

In each case the wiki.ros.org shows that they have packages for melodic, and that the jenkins binary jobs passed for both stretch and bionic, but they are not available in packages.ros.org .

They also are not in the packages file for the their respective disto (bionic, stretch)

So my main question are this packages released for Melodic and is the wiki correct with its status of the respective packages?

The status page can give you more detailed information:

The three squares in each column (which represent the different platforms) indicated the availability of that package (also see the legend on the page).

All packages have two green square and the third square is red. That means the latest version is available in the building repo (first square) as well as the testing repo (second square). The package isn't available in the main repo yet (third square). After packages have been successfully built they are being manually synced into the main repo after some soak period. Those syncs are being announced on discourse and enumerate what packages have been added / updated / removed since the last sync.

You can either wait a couple of weeks or (if you are brave / experienced) try the packages from the testing repo (sometimes also called "shadow-fixed").

Some info on how to set that up: wiki/ShadowRepository.
