urdfdom needs to be synced to version 1.0.0

[Jose Luis Rivero]

I'm the current debian maintainer of urdfdom. Please note that the urdfdom software is divided (upstream) in two different source packages: urdfdom and urdfdom-headers. The need to be in sync specially on major version bumps.

The urdfdom-headers package was synced from debian to the latest 1.0.0 version so Yaketty already have this version: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/source/yakkety/urdfdom-headers. Perfect.

The problem is that urdfdom was updated to version 1.0.0 but this changes is still waiting in the debian NEW queue: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/urdfdom_1.0.0-1.html

Hopefully it will be approved one of these days and we can directly sync from Debian unstable to fix the problem of having the two urdfdom packages with different major versions. I can ping in this bug when this happen.

Thanks.

I think we want to wait a little longer so we can just sync the new version from Debian.

I'm going to unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors for now. Feel free to resubscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors once the new version of urdfdom has been accepted into Debian.

Or if it gets close to Ubuntu 16.10's release and the update still isn't in Debian, resubscribe and attach a .debdiff.

I pinged ftpmasters about this one, and I'll sync/transition when possible.
In case, just ping me and I'll try to make it into yakkety
