This repository contains ROS 1 packages. The last supported ROS 1 release, ROS Noetic, officially reached end of life on May 31st, 2025.
This repository was forked in September 2025 to address logging issues introduced by [ros#2277] (ros#2277). The PR was reverted and the library was bumped to 1.17.5.
Since ros_comm is a Debian metapackage, only the affected package xmlrpcpp needed to be rebuilt and republished.
The following steps accomplished this on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal:
# clone and initialize
mkdir -p ~/ros_comm_ws/src
cd ~/ros_comm_ws/src
git clone [email protected]/path-robotics/ros_comm -b noetic-devel
cd ~/ros_comm_ws/src/ros_comm/utilities/xmlrpcpp
# generate debian configuration
bloom-generate rosdebian --ros-distro noetic --os-name ubuntu --os-version focal .
# build and package
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
Once this was completed, the debian file ros-noetic-xmlrpcpp_1.17.5-0focal_amd64.deb was created. This package
can be installed alongside the rest of the unmodified ros_comm packages.
