[k-okada]

hi,
can I take over maintainer role of bfl as [email protected] ? if you give me access to this package, i'll change maintainer and status tag, and check if ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm#435 works.

I've invited you to be a collaborator.

[k-okada]

Thank you, it seems you have already released into lunar, so we'll released from M

From the discussion in #11 it likely won't need release into M turtle. It's only used by one other EOL package. It would be way better for the community to focus on phasing out robot_pose_ekf than rereleasing this package.

It sounds a little sad. How many packages will leave with ROS in the future to powerful the world wide robots should be worthy of consideration.

[k-okada]

@jacknlliu if you plan to use this package in future, please let me know, we're happy to release in future ROS-distro

people_tracking_filter also depends on bfl. If someone could do a release, that would be great, as I'd like to people_tracking_filter (and all of people) for melodic.

Is there something blocking bfl from getting into ubuntu main? I see debs are already being built: https://people.mech.kuleuven.be/~tdelaet/bfl_doc/installation_guide/node2.html

[k-okada]

@dlaz i think it is already released in indigo, kinetic and lunar https://github.com/ros-gbp/bfl-release

[dlaz]

Yes, but not melodic, which is what I'm interested in, or am I misunderstanding something?

[k-okada]

ok, done ros/rosdistro#17774

Awesome, thank you.

Since liborocos-bfl-dev is availabile in the Noetic target platforms Debian Buster and Ubuntu Focal, can this package be replaced with a rosdep key in Noetic?

• https://packages.debian.org/buster/liborocos-bfl-dev
• https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/liborocos-bfl-dev

[k-okada]

@sloretz that's would be great. Did someone check if dependency package such as (http://wiki.ros.org/robot_pose_ekf?distro=melodic) works with liborocos-bfl-dev ?

@k-okada I just checked; robot_pose_ekf tests pass on Ubuntu Focal and Debian Buster using liborocos-bfl-dev

[sloretz]

ROS Noetic will use rosdep keys for BFL and KDL. The ROS Noetic migration notes has instructions.
