ROS Lyrical Luth Beta and Call for Testing

We’re in the “beta” phase of development for ROS 2 Lyrical Luth! We have binary packages available for Ubuntu Resolute and RHEL 10, and rosdistro is open for newly released packages for Lyrical.

Testing the Lyrical beta

We published Installation instructions for Lyrical here. However, binary packages for Lyrical are only available in the testing repository.

Follow the pre-release testing instructions to use the ros-testing repository so that you can install the ros-lyrical-* packages.

For those using the comprehensive archive for installation, download the archive from the artifacts of this pre-release tag. If you’re building from source, use the ros2.repos file at that release.

If you think you’ve discovered a bug, please:

  • check the open issues and PRs on the related repository, or
  • discuss the issue in this thread, or
  • open a new issue

We’ll triage the issue or PR and decide when and how it should be fixed in Lyrical.

Releasing your packages

If you are a package maintainer, please follow this guide to release your package in Lyrical.

Reminder that the tutorial party starts 2026-04-30T07:00:00Z. Find all the details in this post.

Thanks!
