[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Packaging and Release Management] Need to sync new release of rqt_topic (Indigo, Jade, Kinetic)

[Dirk Thomas]

The maintainer notification for `arm64` is not enabled (see https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm_config/blob/5326af879d6b88bbd793eade7c5ca4aa065c9fe0/kinetic/release-xenial-arm64-build.yaml#L13). I am not sure why that is the case. This is at the discretion of the person managing a specific ROS distro. So it is expected that you didn't receive any notification emails for that platform.

But regarding the `armhf` builds: I am interested why we got into the situation which we are in now (we want to sync quickly to get urgent fixed out to ROS users but can't due to regressions). It seems that the notification system aiming to let the maintainers as well as the ROS distro maintainer know about the problem worked as expected. It would be great if you could describe your point of view. Is there anything which can be done differently in order to avoid similar problems in the future? Either for the infrastructure, the process, or anything else.
