[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Packaging and Release Management/Kinetic] Preparing for Kinetic Sync 2018-03-14

[Mikael Arguedas]

The ROS release pipeline works in several stages.
When a maintainer makes a release, the package will be built and available on the [test/shadow repository](http://wiki.ros.org/ShadowRepository). You can monitor the status of the various repositories via the status pages (e.g [this one](http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_kinetic_default.html) for Kinetic on Ubuntu).
After a couple weeks in the testing repository without reported regression, we will announce the upcoming sync via a thread analog to this one.
It will be synced to the main repository and the summary of the sync is announced on discourse: https://discourse.ros.org/t/new-packages-for-kinetic-2018-03-15/4213.

In this particular case, as a new version of navigation has not been released, it's not available on the testing repository yet, hence was not been part of today's sync.
