Have the package build source the latest tagged ros2-galactic release #18

The github url seems to be set on a static tag. It's possible to have the package pull from the latest released tag, or otherwise using sed. This wiki article seems to provide a decent way to do this. I'm not sure what implications this has for marking the package as updated when a new tag comes out.

Thanks for the suggestion but new releases will likely break the package. I think we should keep the manual step for the sake of stability. Besides, we have ros2-git package which is not meant to be super stable but it always uses latest rolling version.

Also, galactic currently points to the latest release, and whenever a new galactic release comes, I'll update the package, test it and push it to AUR. If I don't see a new update, users can flag the package outdated and I'll be notified by email.

P.S. I think the link in your post is different from what it was intended to be.

Thanks for the explanation! I think I'll close this given that info.
