Hello Lyrical maintainers!

Starting now, I will be holding new Lyrical [ros/rosdistro](https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/) release PRs with a plan to sync ROS Lyrical packages to the main apt repo on 2026-09-17. Please comment here if there are any issues I should know about before performing the sync.

There are currently [336 packages](https://repo.ros2.org/status_page/ros_lyrical_default.html?q=SYNC) waiting to sync and [256 regressions](https://repo.ros2.org/status_page/ros_lyrical_default.html?q=REGRESSION) (Which is expected because the buildfarm is rebuilding a lot of packages right now. I expect 0 regressions at the time of the sync).

On behalf of @nathanbrooks there’s an execution-time issue with moveit2 for Lyrical [moveit\_configs\_utils: give the controller spawners a parameter file by nbbrooks · Pull Request #3851 · moveit/moveit2 · GitHub](https://github.com/moveit/moveit2/pull/3851) that we’re actively working on. We might want that to be merged in in time (e.g. before ROSCon), if that’s possible.

I’m running a little behind. I’m going to sync tomorrow 2026-19-18

I merged the moveit release PRs, but held back the navigation2 release PR until after ROSCon.
