Description

Just tried to install open-rmf on my Ubuntu 24 with ros jazzy, by faced following error after sudo apt update && sudo apt install ros-jazzy-rmf-dev : Unable to locate package ros-jazzy-rmf-dev

Just in case, my ros2 is properly installed, I have amd64. How can I solve it?

[Yadunund]

The package will be released for the first time into Jazzy after the next sync: https://discourse.ros.org/t/preparing-for-jazzy-sync-and-patch-release-2024-06-28/38340

[Yadunund]

If you want to try it out before the official release, you can test with the pre-release binaries by following instructions here https://docs.ros.org/en/jazzy/Installation/Testing.html and re-runing the install command.

@Yadunund So does it mean that it will be released today?

[Yadunund]

The date on the post is an estimate and it will be updated once the sync is complete. Please keep an eye out.

@Yadunund So what ROS2 version is supported at the moment, so I can use RMF?

[Yadunund]

The various distros listed in our README: https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf#installation-instructions

[jabrail-chumakov]

@Yadunund Yes, but it's listed there that "jazzi" is supported

[Yadunund]

Yes I'm aware and we do support Jazzy. You will find jazzy branches on all Open-RMF repos and you can build Open-RMF from source on Jazzy with these branches checked out. We've also released binary versions of these packages but they take time to be available on the ROS buildfarm.

See release notes for more information: https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf/releases/tag/release-jazzy-240617 and specifically the

Note: The binaries will be available after the next Jazzy sync.
