E: Unable to locate package python3-ros-buildfarm

There isn't any package named that in 20.04 noetic (or do I need to add a repo?), so skip pre-release- or maybe it is in pip?

Specified repository 'rviz_camera_stream' is not in the distribution file located at 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/6fb806d630cf1bdff61486ea9abdedd675a0fd97/noetic/distribution.yaml'
Could not determine release repository url for repository 'rviz_camera_stream' of distro 'noetic'
You can continue the release process by manually specifying the location of the RELEASE repository.
To be clear this is the url of the RELEASE repository not the upstream repository.
For release repositories on GitHub, you should provide the `https://` url which should end in `.git`.
Here is the url for a typical release repository on GitHub: https://github.com/ros-gbp/rviz-release.git
==> Looking for a release of this repository in a different distribution...
No reasonable default release repository url could be determined from previous releases.

git@github.com:lucasw/rviz_camera_stream-release.git

The release repository url you provided is not a `https://` address.

I've forgotten how much I dislike interactive shell scripts for processes like this- if the configuration requires more than a handful of command line parameters it should use a config file instead, and process that instead of constantly stopping to ask the user questions.

Try making this modification

    if not (url.startswith('https://') or url.startswith('https://')):
        valid_url = False
        warning("The {0} repository url you provided is not a `https://` or 'git://' address."

bloom-release --rosdistro noetic --track noetic --new-track --edit --override-release-repository-url git@github.com:lucasw/rviz_camera_stream-release.git rviz_camera_stream

Actually the solution is to use this:

Release Repository Push URL:
  <url>
    (optional) Used when pushing to remote release repositories. This is only
    needed when the release uri which is in the rosdistro file is not writable.
    This is useful, for example, when a releaser would like to use a ssh url
    to push rather than a https:// url.

git@github.com:lucasw/rviz_camera_stream-release.git

But can't do that with the override

The 'Release Repository Push URL' is set in the track, but is being ignored because the --override-release-repository-url option was used.
==> Testing for push permission on release repository

Upstream Repository URI:
  <uri>
    Any valid URI. This variable can be templated, for example an svn url
    can be templated as such: "https://svn.foo.com/foo/tags/foo-:{version}"
    where the :{version} token will be replaced with the version for this release.

Please upgrade your git client.

Try https://github.com/lucasw/rviz_camera_stream.git instead?

Looks like bloom doesn't have an oauth token for you yet.
You can create a token by visiting https://github.com/settings/tokens in your browser.
For bloom to work the token must have at least `public_repo` scope.
If you want bloom to be able to automatically update your fork of ros/rosdistro (recommended)
then you must also enable the workflow scope for the token.
If you need to unauthorize it, remove it from the 'Tokens' menu in your GitHub account settings.

Would you like to enter an access token now [Y/n]? 

-> http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/GithubManualAuthorization#Re-route_https_through_ssh

Re-running the bloom command is easier now, it remembers all the above settings

It still asks for an access token

Do a manual PR

Forgot to add a LICENSE, bumping to 1.0.1

Instead of bloom just do whatever it did manually in the release repo https://github.com/lucasw/rviz_camera_stream-release

No there's too much there, just run bloom again

bloom-release --rosdistro noetic rviz_camera_stream

[lucasw]

Opened manual PR at ros/rosdistro#30895

It failed like this:

AssertionError: ["In file '''/home/runner/work/rosdistro/rosdistro/noetic/distribution.yaml''': Could not validate source entry for repo rviz_camera_stream with error [[[Could not validate repository with url https://github.com/lucasw/rviz_camera_stream.git and version 1.0.1 from entry at line 8059.

Aren't I just releasing into noetic? then whay is melodic running above?

Also I do have that tag:

https://github.com/lucasw/rviz_camera_stream/releases/tag/1.0.1

https://github.com/lucasw/rviz_camera_stream-release/releases/tag/upstream%2F1.0.1

The tag must be a branch? ros/rosdistro#20286 In which repo, the -release one? Wouldn't that have been blooms job?
