  • Does not appear in ros2.repos: ros2/ros2.repos at rolling · ros2/ros2 · GitHub

• [zulip] @rkent would like some additional review here, as it has stagnated: Add tests for ament_python_install_package by rkent · Pull Request #598 · ament/ament_cmake · GitHub
  • @cottsay doesn’t have time to review, going to let someone else step in to get it over the line.
• [emerson] RMW implementation library wrapper/shim by emersonknapp · Pull Request #266 · ros2/rmw_implementation · GitHub - RMW Implementation Wrapper needs reviewers
  • Were there any performance implications
  • RMW_IMPLEMENTATION can statically link if there is only a single implementation. Will the wrapper break that.
