For what it's worth, if there are FOSS packages that you think should be in Fedora that aren't, shoot an email to robotics@lists.fedoraproject.org with the info (I'm pretty sure the list doesn't require a subscription, if it does let me know).  We can work with you to get packages created, submitted, and reviewed.

As for ceres-solver, I took a look this morning and noticed it was packaged and sitting in the Fedora review queue.  I took up the review so it should be in the distribution in the coming weeks.

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
