[sktometometo]

Package name:

ubuntu-sounds package (Ubuntu's GNOME audio theme)

Package Upstream Source:

Source package is https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/ubuntu-sounds. I don't where is the original project.

Purpose of using this:

Our lab have developed some package using the sound file in this package. (e.g. /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg)
And it will be helpful to add the package to rosdep for our package users.

I am approving this as what appears to be a previously undeclared dependency for an existing ROS package, but I would say it's very suboptimal to depend on a package that is so specific to just one of the platforms that ROS is available for as it prevents this package from being released on Debian as well as Ubuntu.

If there is another more cross-platform sound library to use, that would be worth considering, or bundling the sounds you need directly in your application if they are appropriately licensed.

@nuclearsandwich
Thank you for approving and advise. sound-theme-freedesktop package will be more suitable since it is distributed on multiple distribution (ubuntu, debian and already added to rosdep/base.yaml.

Yes that package would be much better to use. If you can use that it would be good to choose this one so that others don't end up going down the same limited path.

I'm going to close this since it seems sound-theme-freedesktop is a good solution. Feel free to reopen if need be.
