Missing px4_msgs from APT

The px4_msgs package takes a lot of time to compile. It would be nice to have it on APT.

I’ve seen that it is actually built by the ROS2 buildfarm for Noble:

however, it seems not to be available on apt, e.g. by running sudo apt install ros-jazzy-px4-msgs

Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

The buildfarm package that you point out there is the dev job, which is the one that is used for continuous integration/testing. For packaging jobs, you would want one that is prefixed with Jbin and then the correct one for your platform (for example: Jbin_uN64 - Jenkins)

Another convenient resource for packaging status is here: ROS packages for Jazzy - 2026-08-18 07:36:06 -0800

In this case, specifically, the package only has source and doc entries in rosdistro (rosdistro/jazzy/distribution.yaml at master · ros/rosdistro · GitHub), so the upstream authors/maintainers have chosen to not release binary packages for one reason or another. Maybe worth checking in with upstream?

Thank you very much for the prompt response! I’ll contact the maintainers. This topic can be closed.
