Any plans for new Jazzy snapshot?

It has been almost 4 months since last Jazzy snapshot on http://snapshots.ros.org/jazzy/

Back when I relied on Humble snapshots, I was pointed to reach out via the Open Robotics discord channel, specifically the #infra-help channel. I was able to get help from the infra maintainers in this way.

There was a problem with the snapshot creation process (me). There are some general challenges that make this process hard to automate reliably but it’s long past time. I’ll raise the difficulty and review options with the infrastructure PMC.

Snapshots have always been something that we do on a best effort basis. I would actually encourage most who rely on snapshots to consider creating their own. The tool that we currently use for the snapshots repo is aptly: https://www.aptly.info/

Thanks for the help! I see the 2025-04-30 snapshot is on there now :folded_hands:

@nuclearsandwich The snapshots are 2-3 syncs behind. Could you please look into it whenever you have some bandwidth?

Sorry to unearth that topic, but it does sound like the issue has not been resolved… The last Jazzy snapshot is still 2025-05-23, but we have had two syncs for Jazzy since then: 2025-06-29 and 2025-08-20. Any chance this can be resolved? Of course we’ll be happy to create our own snapshots internally, but I think they’re a useful tool that can benefit the entire community…

Sorry for the delays here. I have a hacked up automation for snapshots running on my own infra but it fell off. Snapshots cannot be backfilled because they need to be taken at the time the main repository is in that state, but the latest snapshots for humble and jazzy are available. Snapshots for rolling and non-LTS distributions like kilted are not provided.

Thank you @nuclearsandwich

@nuclearsandwich A friendly reminder that the snapshots are behind again.
