Hi stage_ros maintainers!

As you may know the next ROS release Lunar Loggerhead is around the corner ๐ŸŽ‰

All dependencies of stage_ros are now released into Lunar! Please consider making a Lunar release soon, stage_ros is part of desktop_full, it is a requirement for the release of ROS Lunar.

Thanks!

@rtv any update on this ? This repository is one of the last missing for the Lunar release.

Working on this tonight. Will report back properly when I've reviewed what is/needs done.

Hi @rtv,
Sorry to bother you again, do you have an update on this ? this package is now the only one blocking the release of ROS Lunar. It would be really great to have this out for the beta-testing phase starting on May 1st

Will have it ready for packaging/releasing by tomorrow night. (30 April). This has taken waaaay longer than I anticipated. Learning curve is mighty steep.

that's awesome, thanks @rtv !
If you learned lessons that are not stage_ros specific and can benefit all maintainers, please consider submitting changes to http://wiki.ros.org/MaintenanceGuide. We tried to improve it recently but could use feedback from the community to help flatten the learning curve for all maintainers.

Regarding the release process you can find useful information here

stage_ros changes are done. Am coordinating with @wjwwood on pushing to GitHun and the release process.

I applied my changes to my fork rtv/stage_ros, and created a PR for the upstream. Hopefully William can do the pull and make the release. I don't want to mess something up and thereby slow things down. Thanks @mikaelarguedas for the info.

Thanks @rtv for the release! everything built fine ๐ŸŽ‰ . Closing this
