_From @Linkeway on November 4, 2016 4:3_ I think it would be nice that the joint_state_publisher support publishing velocity and position using GUI . _Copied from original issue: ros/robot_model#164_

Currently `pluginlib_export_plugin_description_file()` creates a resource type in the ament index called `{plugin category}__pluginlib__plugin`. However, This seems like "nesting resource types" to me. The ament resource index documentation says for nested...

I ran into an issue on ros2/urdf#13 where pluginlib is unable to find a module on only OSX. The cause is I buit the library using the `MODULE` type instead...

urdfdom should find_package(TinyXML) in urdfdom-config.cmake

urdfdom finds TinyXML when it is being built, but it does not find it again when it is installed. https://github.com/ros/urdfdom/blob/1857a55897295c1fa46669bf1483dc78cf2467a8/CMakeLists.txt#L35 Since `tinyxml.h` is included in a public header https://github.com/ros/urdfdom/blob/1857a55897295c1fa46669bf1483dc78cf2467a8/urdf_parser/include/urdf_parser/urdf_parser.h#L42 it...

From @mikepurvis ros/robot_model#48 Would be great if either a) the node could be run multiple times (with a namespaced robot_description parameter), or b) the node could accept multiple strings and...

It can be difficult to remap the parameter name passed to `initParam` (usually `robot_description`). This may be due to the call to `searchParam()`. https://github.com/ros/urdf/blob/470729633ba0419735603a054fec0b5bbfe442f9/urdf/src/model.cpp#L96-L99 This appears to work ```xml ```...

ROS 2 port ros_tutorials, roscpp_tutorials, and rospy_tutorials?

1

The packages ros_tutorials, roscpp_tutorials, and rospy_tutorials all have `COLCON_IGNORE` files in the ROS 2 branches. These have not been ported to ROS 2. This is a ticket to decide if...

Branch urdf_parser_py for Galactic?

1

@clalancette objections? This one seems easy: create a `galactic-devel` (matching the existing `foxy-devel` naming style on this repo) branch from the `ros2` branch and update rosdistro to say `galactic-devel` is...
