Compile under ROS Melodic Ubuntu 18.04

Hi,

Is it planned to make a release for ROS Melodic under Ubuntu 18.04?

Thanks!

Yes, we are really hoping to upgrade this package to work under Ubuntu 18.04.

See AutonomyLab/bebop_autonomy#168 and #9. These compile together on Ubuntu 16.04 and will be tested on the vehicles in a few hours. Will try making this compatible with ROS Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04 in my spare time this week.

Fails to build with ROS Melodic because it is not included in the list of valid packages? See https://travis-ci.org/AutonomyLab/parrot_arsdk/builds/399658715?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification for detailed error.

^reason for error above is that it needs to be released to ROS. See details here.

Source compiles with ROS Melodic. Passes pre-release tests in ROS Melodic. I will attempt to release the binary in the next few days.

[thomas-bamford]

Released binary to Melodic successfully. Should be released by ROS soon.

[thomas-bamford]

Binary is available through ROS now.
sudo apt install ros-melodic-parrot-arsdk
