An update to the CI

• Adding Jazzy Jalisco
• Changing Rolling tooling to Ubuntu 24.04 noble (so latest)

Do we want to keep supporting humble? and how about short term releases as iron and kilted

Update: I still have to update the minimal build and see if everything goes through error free, hence the that this PR is still on draft. Also there is #489 that will fix the windows build

[jhdcs]

Considering we're trying to have this client library be a Tier 1, I think we should support Humble (and other versions) for as long as ROS 2 supports them. So if a version becomes EOL, our support becomes EOL.

I am open to being overruled by the other maintainers if they feel that would be an unrealistic ask, though.

[knmcguire]

Alright. In that sense I can also add Kilted. Iron is of course already EOL.

Once the PR is ready to be reviewed I'll share it on Matrix

[knmcguire]

I've removed Kilted again since it is not yet available in rostooling it seems: https://github.com/ros-tooling/setup-ros-docker

I'll start a issue/pr over there, but for now I've commented it out here

[luca-della-vedova]

Had a quick look upstream and it seems kilted is now available, can you uncomment it?

[knmcguire]

Absolutely :) the rostooling peeps were really quick to respond after opening my ticket for kilted there! PR merged in record time!

[knmcguire]

ah no it's too fresh. We need to wait for the new action-ros-ci (and setup-ros?) to be released with kilted. It's either that or always be on the @main version of those but don't think we should do that to keep the CI stable.

So, shall we wait for that for this PR or shall I remove Kilted again such that we can do another PR once the tooling has been released @luca-della-vedova ?

It seems both have kilted support, setup-ros on a new 0.7 version (so it should be picked up automatically), action-ros-ci on 0.4.3 so if we bump to 0.4 it should be picked up

[luca-della-vedova]

Just a comment for curiosity but this looks great, thank you! This (especially jazzy) is very overdue

[luca-della-vedova]

Very interesting, I guess this is an alternative to the --break-system-packages flag? I didn't know this could be done!

[knmcguire]

ah yes I read about that flag too. But I got this idea from my co-maintainer at Crazyswarm2 (see this line). But seems to work out!

[knmcguire]

Everything is building so feel free to merge if it's all good!
