Public bug reported: I'm current the maintainer of Gazebo (Robotics simulator) package inside Debian and Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/vivid/gazebo
I usually don't ask for this kind of updates since the automatic sync from Debian is usually enough. In this case, Debian unstable is in a frozen state for the next release and changes in major versions can be waiting in the NEW queue for long time or in experimental. I would like to request the update from the current Gazebo 3 version (more than one year old) already in Vivid to the new Gazebo 5 version (released two weeks ago). I've created a PPA containing the gazebo5 version in Vivid: https://launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/gazebo5-vivid For the Open Source Robotics community using the Gazebo simulator and the ROS (Robotic Operative System) framework, it is pretty critical to get Gazebo5 into Vivid so Ubuntu can provide directly through official respositories the latest version of the simulator and allows ROS Jade (next release, uses Gazebo5[2]) to be built directly on top of an out- of-the box Vivid system. Thanks very much, let me know if I need to go any other action to get Gazebo5 into Vivid. ** Affects: gazebo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1418291 Title: Please include gazebo5 (robotics simulator) update in Vivid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gazebo/+bug/1418291/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
