Add pinocchio to foxy and eloquent

[Rascof]

Hello,

I am actually on an internship at LAAS-CNRS / AIP-Primeca to release packages of the Stack of Stacks on melodic, noetic, foxy and eloquent: http://stack-of-tasks.github.io/development.html
I already released dynamic-graph and dynamic-graph-python: https://index.ros.org/p/dynamic-graph/github-stack-of-tasks-dynamic-graph/
Some packages are dependent on Pinocchio to be released on foxy and eloquent. Is it possible to release Pinocchio on those two rosdistros?

Best regards,

Thomas PEYRUCAIN

Hi Thomas,
Very happy to hear from you. I am working on updated releases for EigenPy and Pinocchio on the current ROS1 releases (kinetic, melodic, noetic). There might be some fixes for the buildfarms required to get those going. I can keep you posted but it will take some time.

I can't merge this PR as is as it does not come with the tags. I can run bloom for ROS2 as well to get the releases going. It does require patching though so might take a few attempts. Did you run a pre-release test for eloquent and foxy?

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Ok no problem I can continue with the other packages on melodic and noetic when waiting for Pinocchio to be released on ROS2

The pre-release process is only available on kinetic, melodic and noetic on the website: http://prerelease.ros.org/
I don't know other option to do the pre-release on ROS2.
I had no issues to release dynamic-graph on foxy and eloquent with the exec_depend on ament_cmake for ROS2.

Best regards,
Thomas PEYRUCAIN

Upon reflection, I want to wait with the Pinocchio releases until stack-of-tasks/pinocchio#1284 has landed and a new release is created. This is an important and useful update. I'll release EigenPy 2.5.0 in the meantime as a preparation.

Update - the EigenPy releases are out. If they get merged and come back green, I can continue on the Pinocchio ones. Eloquent required patches for finding NumPy. Both required patches for Debian Buster and fixing the install paths from jrl-cmake-modules.

Pinocchio

Please note that due to memory exhaustion on the buildfarm when building the Python bindings it may take several days / a week to get all builds to go through once these are merged...

Nice thank you very much ^^

The foxy and eloquent releases are due to be reverted due to memory exhaustion cf. ros-infrastructure/buildfarm_deployment#232

Could you look into whether there are ways to reduce memory requirements?
