Newest version of ros-plugins cannot be built. Missing ros2bag_transport package

[bednarhonza]

Hello, I wanted the newest version of ROS2 plugin, but it is still not available as a .deb package through apt system. I tried to build it in my own colcon workspace, but it misses the ros2bag_transport package. I have this package installed, so I do not see the problem. Could you help me with that? Or do you know when there will be a .deb package version online?

ROS distro and branch?

[bednarhonza]

ROS2 Galactic - newest .deb packages plotjuggler-ros-plugins - development branch, commit: 1a6dc358

Thanks!

[facontidavide]

change to rolling branch

[bednarhonza]

Sorry, I did not notice that the rolling branch includes a Galactic fix. Currently, I'm on eda2521 commit.

However, I have got another error.

I found the issue. The rosbag2_transport package has qos.hpp file in the src folder, not in the include folder. So the qos.hpp header file is missing in the opt/ros/galactic/include/rosbag2_transport/ folder. I manually copied the qos.hpp file in the folder opt/ros/galactic/include/rosbag2_transport/ and it works now.

Thanks for the help!
