Kinetic Maintainers,

We’re preparing for a Kinetic sync.

Reviewing the repository state there’s a handful of [regressions](http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_kinetic_default.html?q=REGRESSION)

Debugging them I’ve identified the following issues:

- [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/DataspeedInc/velodyne_simulator/issues/5/kinetic-build-of-velodyne_gazebo_plugins)
- [hector\_gazebo failing to build in Kinetic · Issue #34 · tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector\_gazebo · GitHub](https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_gazebo/issues/34)
- [kobuki\_gazebo not compiling after gazebo\_ros\_pkgs cleanup · Issue #50 · yujinrobot/kobuki\_desktop · GitHub](https://github.com/yujinrobot/kobuki_desktop/issues/50)

If there’s any other issues to be aware of please reply here.

Thanks to everyone that fixed builds. There were a few releases and one rollback.

We appear to have 2 regressions of packages released in the mean time.

We’re planning to roll them back to get a clean build:

- [https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/14844](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/14844)
- [Revert "robotis\_framework: 0.2.2-0 in 'kinetic/distribution.yaml' [bloom]" by tfoote · Pull Request #14845 · ros/rosdistro · GitHub](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/14845)
- [Revert "dynamixel-workbench: 0.1.4-0 in 'kinetic/distribution.yaml' [bloom]" by tfoote · Pull Request #14846 · ros/rosdistro · GitHub](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/14846)
