I assigned this to myself for now since I'll do the first release into humble/rolling at our current state (it at least gets a mostly working openni2_camera driver out there)

The timeline for the other tickets (and rgbd_launch) is really blocked on the upstream lazy subscriber stuff - and it will only work in Iron and later (those changes aren't going to make it into Humble, since it is a big API change in the ROS2 core)

[mikeferguson]

PRs required to get team/repo setup:

• https://github.com/ros2-gbp/ros2-gbp-github-org/pull/210
• https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/36320

Also, I've updated the first comment here to reflect that we won't be releasing openni2_launch in the first go-around (there is just too much upstream). This package also really doesn't support foxy anymore because there are too many API changes - so we'll be releasing only to Humble and Rolling (Foxy goes EOL in a little over 2 months anyways)

Released 2.0.0 to humble and rolling:

• https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/36369
• https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/36370

Wondered how you could bloom-release the driver pkg without rgbd_launch. Then found in CATKIN_IGNORE in openni2_launch pkg. Nice!

Yeah - that's also how our CI is working. I'm guessing it will be about 3-6 months before we can actually even start to port openni2_launch based on how much upstream stuff has to happen

• Rolling built fine - http://repo.ros2.org/status_page/ros_rolling_default.html
• Humble binary isn't building right - https://build.ros2.org/view/Hbin_uJ64/job/Hbin_uJ64__openni2_camera__ubuntu_jammy_amd64__binary/ - looks like we need to add a dependency to get PkgConfig? that seems odd that it would show up now....

[mikeferguson]

128 should fix the humble build - not sure why our CI didn't detect that - something else must pull in pkgconfig

[mikeferguson]

New release with humble build fixes, and fixes for use_device_time not working:

• https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/36379
• https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/36380

[mikeferguson]

Humble build has succeeded:

• https://build.ros2.org/job/Hbin_uJ64__openni2_camera__ubuntu_jammy_amd64__binary/6/
• https://build.ros2.org/job/Hbin_ujv8_uJv8__openni2_camera__ubuntu_jammy_arm64__binary/6/

The builds are still failing on RHEL - but that's because libopenni2 doesn't exist there - I think I disable bloom from putting those releases in

[mikeferguson]

https://github.com/ros2/ros_buildfarm_config/pull/264 - to remove RHEL builds

[mikeferguson]

Ok - RHEL change is merged - I'm calling this complete
