Public bug reported: Hello:
My name is Jose Luis Rivero and I'm with the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF; www.osrfoundation.org), a non-profit R&D foundation where we build software for programming and simulating robots. I would like to request an exception sync to include into Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) the package sdformat (1.4.11), currently in debian sid: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/sdformat The reasons to propose this inclussion out of the standard sync period are: * sdformat is a key depencency for our software platform, called ROS (Robot Operating System; www.ros.org). ROS is the most widely used system of its kind in the world, relied upon by tens of thousands of people at universities, companies, and government agencies around the world, and used with many kinds of robots in many different domains. * ROS primary supported platform is Ubuntu, and as such, lots of robotics users are using it. Recenty, ROS has changed the release cycle to be in sync with Ubuntu LTS which is why I'm requesting this exception for going into Trusty. * Not having sdformat as an official package has generated all kind of problems in the past due to the duplication of code in the different PPA and extra repositories. Please see the following link as an example: -> https://bitbucket.org/osrf/sdformat/issue/29/incompatibility- between-sdformats-urdf-and * sdformat-1.4.11 is an extensively used version and was released on Nov 2013. There are no open bugs against it. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285278 Title: Sync request from Debian for sdformat (new package) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1285278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
