Protobuf based rosidl typesupport

Middleware agnostic ros2 static typesupport which uses Protobuf for serialization/deserialization.

rosidl_typesupport_protobuf is looking for a maintainer

We (the Eclipse eCAL Team) have reached our maximum capacity. Therefore, we currently cannot support this project as well as we would like to and need your help! 🫵

You can help by:

• Testing it with the latest ROS versions
• Creating Pull requests
• Answering other users' questions

If you would like to actively maintain this project, feel free to contact us 😊

We are not abandoning this project and are happy to help and resolve any eCAL related issues.

Build instructions

• Clone latest release of this repository into your ROS2 workspace
• Source ROS2 source /path/to/your/ros/distro/folder/setup.bash
• Run colcon build from your workspace folder
• Setup your workspace source /path/to/your/workspace/install/setup.bash

Note: Typesupport must be built and sourced before any project messages are built.
Note 2: If you are using messages that are not being built by project (ex. builtin_interfaces) they need to be rebuilt and sourced in your workspace.
