Update your Gazebo apt sources for Jetty

Hello Gazebo Community!

If you installed Gazebo Jetty from binaries recently using these instructions, please check your apt configuration.

During the prerelease phase and our tutorial party, the installation instructions in our documentation temporarily included the prerelease repository. Now that Jetty has been officially released, users should transition back to the stable repository to avoid unintended updates.

Why this matters

Keeping the prerelease repo active may cause your system to pull “bleeding-edge” packages that are still undergoing testing. For a stable development environment, we recommend removing the prerelease repo.

How to fix it

Run the following command in your terminal to remove the prerelease repo:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gazebo-prerelease.list`
sudo apt update

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Jetty release testing!
