Melodic Release Request

[moriarty]

@chadrockey or @mikeferguson could we merge #25 & #26 and then release this into Melodic?

I forgot about this dependency and had it installed in my melodic workspace and would like to release the fetch packages ZebraDevs/fetch_ros#63 into melodic and this is used.

You want to take over maintenance? I I've been recommending people move over to robot_localization for quite some time now (it's way better documented), and so I don't have any interest in continuing to maintain it (we didn't add a Fetch maintainer because it was assumed Fetch would be migrating to robot_localization or their internal thing).

[chadrockey]

Done for Fetch.

@mikeferguson & @chadrockey thanks.

I'll try to switch to robot_localization for the open source code... otherwise I could take over maintenance.

We've moved over to our internal thing for our commercial robots, which is why this was a last minute forgotten dependency which I had installed on to the Fetch back when I was testing the opensource melodic nav stack on the robot.

What is the status of issue?
Is fetch planning to use robot_localization?

I made a PR to swtich from graft to robot_localization ZebraDevs/fetch_robots#56
