Package Versions of ROS-Noetic

edit

ignoring the fact you've likely not installed ROS Noetic, but an upstream version:

where can i find a list of the packages that were used and their version for the Noetic distribution?

one way to see which versions of packages are currently part of the released set would be to visit the Noetic status page, which lists the versions of all packages in the Version column.

This information is only accurate for versions of ROS installed from repositories.ros.org, not for the UpstreamPackages.

Note that the page linked is for the amd64 build. For RPi you'll have to look at the pages for arm64 or arm32 for Debian or Ubuntu at repositories.ros.org/status_page.

And also note: only those OS versions get binary packages built by the ROS buildfarm. On other OS (such as the popular Raspbian) you'll have to build from source.

Edit: another option would be to look at the noetic/distribution.yaml file. This contains all packages released with Bloom. Part of the metadata is the version of the released package.

For ros_comm for instance:

  ros_comm:
    [..]
    release:
      packages:
      [..]
      - ros_comm
      [..]
      tags:
        release: release/noetic/{package}/{version}
      url: https://github.com/ros-gbp/ros_comm-release.git
      version: 1.15.9-1
    source:
      [..]
    status: maintained

which also shows that your version of ros_comm is rather old.
