Preparing for Humble sync 2025-10-17

There have been several new and updated packages in Humble since its last sync a couple of weeks ago and it’s time to sync those new features and fixes to the main apt and dnf repositories.

There are currently no regressions and 318 packages to release.

We will start holding rosdistro PRs for the sync today (2025-10-17T07:00:00Z) and will plan to do the sync early next week.

Sync is out!

Pardon my ignorance, but why doesn’t the sync include recent merges for rclpy in GitHub - ros2/rclpy at humble ? When will they be merged into releases? Thanks.

We/maintainers didn’t create a new rclpy release after those changes, so there was no new release to build and sync. Unfortunately, releases are not systematically created. @ahcorde created one earlier today, so these changes will be included in the next sync.
