Release further pkgs into ROS buildfarm

[dejanpan]

Couple of more things to consider:

• pkg names (there are other pkgs in ROS with the same name, e.g. velodyne_msgs)
• update maintainers in package.xml, also add Dejan everywhere
• find which pkgs to release
• group all pkgs under autoware namespace, see: http://wiki.ros.org/geometry?distro=lunar
• disable building of all other pkgs: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/kinetic/distribution.yaml#L540

Pkgs:

• vector_map_msgs

• vector_map

• waypoint_follower (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/computing/planning/motion/packages/waypoint_follower)

• gnss

• map_file

• runtime_manager

• model_publisher

• points_downsampler (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/sensing/filters/packages/points_downsampler)

• pointgrey (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/sensing/drivers/camera/packages/pointgrey)

• ndt_localizer (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/computing/perception/localization/packages/ndt_localizer)

• autoware_connector

• road_wizard (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/computing/perception/detection/packages/road_wizard)

• lidar_detector (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/88bacc155a3cfc1a7170880c5137dba0c567c881/ros/src/computing/perception/detection/packages/lidar_tracker)

• lane_planner (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/computing/planning/mission/packages/lane_planner)

• astar_planner (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/computing/planning/motion/packages/astar_planner)

• waypoint_maker (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/computing/planning/motion/packages/waypoint_maker)

• libvectormap

• vector_map_server (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/88bacc155a3cfc1a7170880c5137dba0c567c881/ros/src/data/packages/vector_map_server)

• as (https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/feature/pacmod_apex/ros/src/actuation/vehicles/packages/as)

If you use open planner

• way_planner
• dp_planner

Had to also first fix autoware_msgs: http://build.ros.org/job/Kbin_uX64__autoware_msgs__ubuntu_xenial_amd64__binary/1/
See example cmake and package.xml file: https://github.com/ros/common_msgs/tree/jade-devel/stereo_msgs

[dejanpan]

For ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS}: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/CMakeLists.txt#Important_Prerequisites.2BAC8-Constraints

[dejanpan]

I made a pre-release with this state of the repo: 89b8644c39102993805cbe47d74b6aa7b6db3fac

For pre-release jobs (http://wiki.ros.org/regression_tests) you need to run the following:

• drop CATKIN_IGNORE files into all the other packages on your desired test branch

• pre-release website: http://prerelease.ros.org/kinetic

generate_prerelease_script.py   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm_config/production/index.yaml   kinetic default ubuntu xenial amd64 --custom-repo     Autoware:git:https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware:feature/buildfarm_test_branch   --level 1   --output-dir ./

[dejanpan]

Complete release instructions:

1. Fix CMakeLists.txt and package.xml
   Common issues (see https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/pull/770/files for example):

• Install targets are not specified
• dependencies in find_package and catkin_package are missing (in CMakeLists.txt)
• dependencies are missing for build_depend and run_depend in package.xml
• some dependencies are superfluous, that is, you need to check in the source code if they are really needed
• ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS}: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/CMakeLists.txt#Important_Prerequisites.2BAC8-Constraints

2. Create a pre-release

• Install build farm: http://wiki.ros.org/regression_tests#How_do_I_setup_my_system_to_run_a_prerelease.3F

• drop CATKIN_IGNORE files into all the packages that you do NOT want to release, push to buildfarm_test_branch (see why https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/15705#issuecomment-320744956)


• mkdir -p /tmp/prerelease_job
• cd /tmp/prerelease_job
• generate_prerelease_script.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm_config/production/index.yaml kinetic default ubuntu xenial amd64 --custom-repo Autoware:git:https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware:feature/buildfarm_test_branch --level 1 --output-dir ./

3. Make release
   Once everything compiles in step 2 you can run the following commands:
   catkin_generate_changelog
   catkin_prepare_release
   bloom-release --rosdistro <ros_distro> --track <ros_distro> repository_name --edit

Why is this closed?

Packages are fixed (as per last comment) but not released as per title.
(I cannot install ros-melodic-points-preprocessor)
