Kernel release parsing

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with the 6.0 kernel, installed via ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline.

I am not sure there are any rules that apply to the release name of a kernel. But it is 6.0-060000-generic. While for 5.15 is 5.15.0-48-generic. So the big difference here is that the patch version is not provided.

In rosgraph.xmlrpc you split the release on dots. So normally this would caused the last element to contain the patch version and all other release info. Now this is included in the minor version, which causes the current error.

ros_comm/tools/rosgraph/src/rosgraph/xmlrpc.py

Line 94 in f5fa3a1

platform_minor = int(release[1])

I suggest to change

ros_comm/tools/rosgraph/src/rosgraph/xmlrpc.py

Line 92 in f5fa3a1

release = platform.release().split('.')

to the following:

 release = platform.release().split('-')[0].split('.')

#2202 fixed this issue and a binary release came out today containing that fix.

Fixed by #2202
