@henrik7264: the two PRs against ros/rosdistro
were merged, so RxROS has now officially been released into ROS Kinetic and ROS Melodic.
With that we can update the installation instructions, as building from source is no longer needed (for the non-rxros-developer install anyway).
Untill the next sync (of both Kinetic and Melodic), I'll keep this PR as a draft.
We should also update the instructions (and .rosinstall
file) of the examples repository.
When is the next sync @gavanderhoorn (just checked that the installation does not work yet for melodic).
When is the next sync @gavanderhoorn
Last sync was almost 3 weeks ago (this one), so I'd expect one any day now.

It does actually, but you'd need to use the staging repository.
See this page for the status of the package (the red square in each of the columns indicates that the package is not yet present in the public repositories, only in the staging one).
oops I 'undrafted' it by a mis-click, and don't know how to revert ...
You can't.
But it's not really a problem. We'll just not merge until the sync is out.
@henrik7264: the package hasn't been synced yet, so the install instructions I updated cannot successfully be used yet.
I expect the sync to happen any day now, but just so you know: if you try to follow them now, sudo apt install ros-melodic-rxros
will fail.
Oh sorry, i was going to make an update to the README.md file and I just wanted to avoid any merge conflicts.
Can I undo my mistake?
Well, we could revert, but let's not.
The sync will be soon, and then everything will be fine.
I also don't expect hundreds of issues opened by users who are trying to install rxros
using apt
.
OK, thanks.
Apparently the next Melodic sync will be next week Monday (from this).
Kinetic sync is out.
And Melodic has been synced as well.
@wasowski: the installation instructions in the readme should now work for you, even without the ros-testing
repository (if you had it enabled, you'll probably want to disable it again).
As per subject.
