This package hasn't been properly maintained in years. As we are using it in our robots, we have to keep a fork of it to create locally distributed deb packages. I would much rather just support the upstream repo. That's why I am offering my help with maintaining it. This includes:

  • releasing the package on active ROS2 distros (Humble, Iron, Jazzy, Rolling)
  • adding ament_lint tests
  • adding GitHub CI that builds the package and run tests
  • sorting out licensing stuff (adding license headers, updating copyright notices)
  • Merging or requesting changes on various pull requests
  • Closing/Resolving various issues.
  • Dropping old, deprecated code
  • Changing default branch to rolling or ros2
  • Moving the documentation from ROS wiki to docs.ros.org and updating it.

I'm pinging @EzraBrooks as the last self-proclaimed maintainer and @sea-bass as the latest contributor.

I'm not sure I have the authority to make this call - I believe that's @amacneil
