Yeah, the message might could be better. I don't have time to spend on it right now, but if you guys open an issue I might look at it next time I'm doing bloom stuff.

I think the reason the message isn't more specific is that the same check is used for Debian generation and it will not allow you to skip. So the logic to offer the skip comes after failing to get all of the keys. It might require a structural change.

I had the same response the first time I encountered a missing rosdep key for Fedora.

Since there are now two of us that have had this issue, it's probably worth considering a better error message for that scenario; probably something indicating that we can skip rosdep generation for platforms where the rosdep key is missing.

My bad -- I didn't bother to hit "N" once I got to the failed rosdep key -- I expected it would then fail afterwards -- but it gives me the option to skip Fedora. Huh. Sorry for the noise!

    During the release process it should check if all Fedora keys are

    If this is not happening for you, then I think it might be a
