source code for robot_upstart that is distributed with ros humble
Hello,
Where can I find the source code for robot_upstart that comes with humble? I have checked the github repository pointed in package.xml, but it was for ros 1, and there was no ros 2 or humble branch.
Best Regards, C.

The source of truth is the rosdistro file.
If we look at the humble/distribution.yaml file and find the package of interest robot_upstart we see this:
https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/90d0bca39afdad90a70f04a1655b565a60bed7cd/humble/distribution.yaml#L4911-L4925

To add to this: for released packages (which robot_upstart is, see the release stanza in the YAML snippet included in @marguedas' answer), you could also follow wiki/DebianPackageSources.
deb-src entries (and apt-get source) can be used with ROS 1 and ROS 2, as they share the same package infrastructure.
At that point, a simple apt-get source ros-humble-robot-upstart should get you the source archive.
