Hello Noetic maintainers!
Starting now, I will be holding new Noetic ros/rosdistro release PRs with a plan to sync ROS Noetic packages to the main apt repo on 2020/12/14. Please comment here if there are any issues I should know about before performing the sync.
There is one known regression that this sync will fix: a costmap issue with move_base_flex
https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/27553
There are currently no regressions and 138 packages waiting to sync.
any chance we can get cob_manipulation: 0.7.5-1 in 'noetic/distribution.yaml' [bloom] by fmessmer · Pull Request #27682 · ros/rosdistro · GitHub merged/included in this sync?
it’d be the last repository to complete the care-o-bot repo series for noetic…
Would very much appreciate the same consideration for image_pipeline: 1.15.3-1 in 'noetic/distribution.yaml' [bloom] by JWhitleyWork · Pull Request #27751 · ros/rosdistro · GitHub (image_pipeline). I was unaware but an update to Python3 caused a breakage in camera_calibration so that functionality doesn’t currently work in Noetic.
Given that many packages likely depends on image_pipeline, I think it makes sense to make sure it gets plenty soak time in the testing repo in case there’s an issue with the release or with the packages built.
I’ll move forward with the sync without merging image_pipeline’s release.
Makes sense. Thanks for consideration!
The sync is out 
Now is a great time to make releases for the next sync
