[missing package] asr-mild-base-laserscanner #205

Closed TilCreator closed 1 year ago

TilCreator commented 2 years ago

I want to use the asr_mild_base_laserscanner package and can't quite figure out why it's missing. My best guess is that tf is not building because bcrypt is not available for python2 anymore? What would be a good way of getting that package to work? As far as I read the tf package should just be a compatibility layer pointing to tf2 which builds?

(sry, I'm quite new to ROS)

That package doesn't have a release repository published in rosdistro, only documentation: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/d5e4803ce937ac83f5ece3dc35427bae9cd82616/melodic/distribution.yaml#L431. I don't think this package is available in Ubuntu either.

I found it on ROS index: https://index.ros.org/p/asr_mild_base_laserscanner/github-asr-ros-asr_mild_base_laserscanner/#melodic And thought that it should be available here as well then. How would I go about making that package available?

I think that appears because there is a doc key in the YAML, but the maintainers of the package need to release it with bloom. Unfortunately, that project looks unmaintained, so that probably isn't going to happen.

You can also either build it yourself as part of a ROS workspace (not managed by Nix), or manually package it with Nix.
