I notice that there is not a package.xml in this package. How is expected that this software is built and packaged? Are you intending to introduce a vendor package?

There is no package.xml yet, because for older ROS1 releases, it used to come from our libfranka-release repository. However, we would like to do things the recommended way for ROS2, so we can add a package.xml in libfranka. Would you recommend us to do so?

Are you intending to introduce a vendor package?

What exactly do you mean by a vendor package?

[winkma]

We've added the package.xml now 👍 . We don't want to introduce a vendor package.

Hi there! Do you have any more input for us? Do the package.xml and the PR in general look ok to you?

Closing and re-opening to kick-over GitHub Actions. It's become super flaky recently.
