Set the correct SPDX identifier for the package. Install the license files into the correct directory if LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE is set and we are building license packages. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schoepfer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Rob Woolley <[email protected]>
Updated to version 1.19.20240304 which is currently used on ROS 2 Rolling. It no longer needs the patch which has disappeared upstream. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schoepfer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Rob Woolley <[email protected]>

Introduce a yocto recipe for orocos-kdl, which basically makes any appends to orocos-kdl-vendor obsolete. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schoepfer <[email protected]>

This fixes longstanding issues preventing Gazebo/Ignition and RViz2 from building with meta-ros. This includes work to resolve Ogre-Next, PyQt5, and SIP. This is a work-in-progress and is not yet completed. Signed-off-by: Rob Woolley <[email protected]>

Is this currently building/working? I see you have a separate PR open for ROS2 Humble + kirkstone support. How does this one differ? Can this be built against scarthgap? |
Hi @graceagrace, they are both works-in-progress (WIP). I was sharing them with others in the hopes to get some help finishing it off. All the recipes were building, but some projects have optional dependencies that aren't satisfied yet. Notably, things like the ogre 3d engine which have support for different image libraries and plugins. I also didn't get to doing rigorous run-time testing however I did hear that some others were successful in running the GUIs. The main difference between the two is that the older Yocto release uses sip v4 to generate the Qt Python bindings whereas the newer release uses sip v6 (see https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipe/332209/ ). This essentially doubled the effort. The newer Yocto release also uses gcc13 so at the time I was having to fix a lot of new C++ warnings in the compiler that hadn't been completely addressed yet by the upstream projects. |

@robwoolley, thanks very much for the detailed reply. I am working on an image for developers that requires RVIZ and some Gazebo plugins. I plan to do a fair bit of runtime testing, so I'll certainly report back with any findings/additional patches required. Is there a certain state you'd like to get this to before you would feel comfortable merging? Is it taking care of the optional deps, or something else? |
I would be happy with confirmation that someone built it and ran it. I think it is more important to get it in to avoid bit rot and allow others to pitch in to fix it. It should only be built by request so it shouldn't block anyone else. You probably need this fix in order for it to work: robwoolley/meta-openembedded@3c4c1e8 I will try to find some time to push that to meta-openembedded soon. |

This is a work-in-progress and is not yet completed. It is being shared for feedback and for others that wish to help contribute to fixing bugs or doing testing.
