Might be another argument for someone to try building up a unofficial farm of Precise/Indigo debs. Do we have a sense how many of the 1000 or so released Indigo packages have an actual problem with the CMake/Boost versions which ship with Precise?

How ugly of a hack would it be to use the Saucy bloom branches to build Precise debs? How much time would it take to find out?

I'm not sure if this is the best mailing list for this question, but has anyone found a work around to use Travis CI with ROS Indigo? Travis only runs Ubuntu Precise, confirmed by

Nope, I just use hydro for now. There really isn't a good option if you want to use travis until travis supports Trusty. You could build what you need from source, but that probably would take too long.

 

So it lacks the ROS debians to build, for example, MoveIt's Indigo branch. Its frustrating to have all pull requests for Indigo fail i.e.

Thanks!

Yes, we do plan to spin down the builds of EOL'd Ubuntu platforms. we have
not done this yet as we do not have that level of configuration built into
the buildfarm. So we'll need to do some development to support that.

With respect to libgphoto2 this isn't an EOL issue. It appears that in
Saucy only libgphoto2-6-dev was released to replace libgphoto2-2-dev but
the decision was reverted in trusty. So to fix this we just need to update
the rosdep rule.
